āMy father is the jailhouse, my father is your system⦠Iām only what you made me. Iām the reflection of youā - Charles Manson, Nov. 20, 1970
I started this without the whole context of what he and his followers did, I knew just the surface and when I started this book and found out exactly what happened I was horrified. This is the telling of what The Family did in August 1969, why they did it and how they did it and it was entertaining and well as horrifying every damn minute I spent with it.
This was hell of a book, it was interesting from beginning to end, the author and narrator did an amazing job and I just cannot not recommend it enough. (I chose to listen to the audiobook and the experience was incredible, this is one of those books that are worth listening to every damn time.)

The fact that barely anyone took her seriously with her pain, thatās awful, what do women have to do to be taken seriously? Itās so annoying.
It also seems like she worked herself out, meaning, she seems to be a ver apprehensive person, I do understand work is important, but nothing is more important than taking care of ourselves, and to me, she put herself last and pushed to the limit, her body was pretty obviously sending all kinds of signals, she def chose to (mainly) ignore.
Finally, the chapter were she talks about her uncleās passing and how HBO dismissed her and told her not to go, reminded me of the time my grandfather died and when I told my boss I had to go, she asked ābut whoās taking care of your classroom if you leave?ā š«© unlike Miss Dunham, I left the school that day to say goodbye to my grandpa.

Oh no! Your current PB username has been stolen somehow!
What would you pick as a second option (and why)? (Assume that all other potential usernames are available.)
