The Story

"What begins as a whirlwind romance quickly evolves into something far more sinister — an invisible cage of emotional manipulation."

When a woman meets a charming stranger at a neighborhood bar, she has no idea she's about to embark on a journey that will test the very limits of her sanity and survival. Grace Channing's memoir is a raw and unflinching account of falling in love with an unsuspected, dark soul — and finding her way back to herself. Woven with education about narcissistic personality disorder, it is both a warning and a hand extended to anyone who has ever questioned their own reality.
