Story11
You felt it in your gut before you could explain it: the confusion, the second-guessing, the shame of realizing someone you trusted was controlling you. They didn’t have to yell or hit. They gaslit, twisted your words, and slowly trained you to doubt your own reality. Manipulation is designed to be invisible… until it’s not. "Dark Psychology" isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a useful umbrella term for subtle tactics people use to gain power, control, and compliance, often without you noticing until your confidence is already worn down.

A new memoir from Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Cathy Glass. Eight-year-old Aimee was on the child protection register at birth. Her five older siblings were taken into care many years ago. So no one can understand why she was left at home to suffer for so long. It seems Aimee was forgotten.

These days, no one in America feels immune to violence. But now, in this extraordinary, groundbreaking book, the nation's leading expert on predicting violent behavior unlocks the puzzle of human violence and shows that, like every creature on earth, we have within us the ability to predict the harm others might do us and get out of its way. Contrary to popular myth, human violence almost always has a discernible motive and is preceded by clear warning signs.

Ruth was a ghost of a girl when she arrived into foster mother Maggie Hartley's care. Pale, frail and withdrawn, it was clear to Maggie that Ruth had seen and experienced things that no 11-year-old should have to, that she had been conditioned to 'see no evil, speak no evil'. Ruth is in desperate need of help, but can Maggie get through to her and unlock the harrowing secret she carries? Through love, reassurance and patience, Maggie starts to unravel Ruth's painful past.
