The Shattered Façade


Book Description

The Shattered Façade is a memoir of a woman who has refused to be destroyed by the storms of life. Rising after abuse, rising through addictions, Rebekah has become an award-winning actress, musician and author despite the odds. It's time to go into the tornado of chaos and step into clarity. My life has been a constant litany of storms. Abused as a child and riddled by addictions, I hid behind a 'composed veneer.' Bound by shame, I ran. From backpacking through South America, road-tripping solo across Australia, to droving cattle in the outback, I avoided pain at all costs. It did nothing. There was no relief in running. There was no relief in hiding. There was only release in facing my pain, head-on. The Shattered Façade is not only my tale of truth, but it is my fight from victim to victor. This is my tale of unashamedly shattering my façade.

BUNDY: A Clinical Discussion of The Perfect Storm


Book Description

Bundy discussed the life and crimes of serial killer Ted Bundy in a unique way: by addressing important aspects of normal child development, including neurological factors and how deviant behavior patterns can result from aberrations in that process. Ted Bundy was perhaps the most notorious serial killer in American history, whose savagery extended to young women in their prime and children not even out of middle school. While he was interviewed and evaluated after being captured there are still questions about how a man seemingly blessed with looks, intelligence and social access could descend to the depths of depravity, and do so while living an apparently normal life. Those closest to him did not recognize his brutal capabilities. Yet whIle he was described as a good son, loving brother and dutiful student by family and friends. it was becoming clear, beginning in his toddler years, that a hatred for females was being cultivated and that it would fester into a life long obsession with sex and death. This book delves into the external life and internal mind of Bundy in an attempt to provide psychological and predictive closure.
