In The Other Side of Charm, you will experience just how easy it is to be seduced by a psychopath. You will also come to understand just how difficult it is to break free from a cycle of psychopathic abuse; a cycle that is inconsistently defined by law and largely ignored or even ridiculed in our systems of justice. Beverly's seduction followed by her struggle to find and create protection will inspire and astound you. Here is a peek into the lonely and oppressive world of a single mother trying to escape a psychopathic husband and rebuild her life in our society. H.G. Beverly is an author and therapist with unique expertise in personality disorders, particularly psychopathic behavior. Find her at hgbeverly.com.

Review

"Your book is extraordinary. I think you've done the best job of capturing the emotional experience of being with a psychopath that I've ever read. The shock, the confusion, the self-doubt, the horror, the outrage... I have never seen it all so eloquently expressed."

-Donna Anderson, blogger, Lovefraud.com

"H.G. Beverly perfectly captured the impossible nightmare that unfolds when a psychopath latches onto an unsuspecting target. You won't be able to put this book down. The author has a great deal of insight into her own character, which makes for a fast-paced story that is introspective, emotional, and a testament to the empathetic human spirit. It tugs on your heart and won't let go."

-Jackson MacKenzie, author and blogger, Psychopathfree.com

"This is a brilliant, riveting, and highly emotional exploration of what it's like to be helpless against evil. You will not want to believe that something like this could happen. You will want to believe that there is too much justice in the world for something like this to occur. But Beverly will show you that it does. And you won't be able to look away."

-Sharon Rawlette, author and blogger

"Every judge, lawyer, & counselor should be REQUIRED to read this memoir."

-Donna Hickman, blogger

"It is indeed brilliantly written, and is causing me to wonder how many times I've been taken in by such ruthless deployers of unscrupulous charm. The book is an essential read if only because it poses that question to all of us in a way that permits no evasion."

-Pete Hulme, psychologist and blogger

From the Inside Flap

This book will give you an unparalleled view of intimate life with a psychopath. Wyatt Sanders, a college decathlete with a seductively elusive sensitive side, has grown up into a flannel-wearing charmer who takes Helen Beverly dancing and loves to make dinner for her at midnight. There are nights on a blanket under shooting stars, parties with family and friends that sprawl across the lawn, and long walks on quiet country roads. Everyone they know praises and celebrates them as a couple... no one suspects that he is a psychopath who will, with marriage, become dangerous. What begins as one woman's sweetest romance turns into a series of crushing events that devastate her sense of reality. Despite it all, she desperately clings to the ideals she has tried so hard to live by; ideals that are now used to tear her apart. Her story raises questions about psychopaths, humanity, failed support systems, and the potential for human recovery when there is no escape.
