Charles Manson's Girls

CHARLES MANSON'S GIRLS: BASED ON MY CHARLES MANSON PRISON INTERVIEWS & PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT by Dr. Paul Dawson reveals the forming of the Manson Family, which was 5:1 girls-to-guys. A particular emphasis is on the development and life passages of the young women in the Manson Family. Many of the girls Manson recruited for his hippie-murder cult seemed to be wild-and-crazy teenagers, hippie girls stoned on drugs, with parental issues, and identity-crisis turmoil, which Manson exploited. Yet the Manson Family kids were often educated and from middle-class homes. This book follows their lives from the late-1960s until now. Some continued a criminal pattern, and others went straight in later life.CHARLES MANSON'S GIRLS presents the traumatizing, astonishing admissions and scandalous interview comments of the psychopathic-serial killer, Charles Manson, with a focus on revealing Charles Manson's girls.
