Overview

When Mormon missionary Keith Barker meets Patty Jenkins, he is unaware that one step inside her home will catapult him into the life of an accomplished sociopath. Patty's life story includes rape, abuse, abandonment and alcoholic parents. She is in desperate need of a good friend. Keith's empathy for Patty leads to a physical relationship resulting in an unexpected pregnancy. Keith is sent home from his mission and his life soon spirals out of control Patty travels cross-country by bus to marry Keith. It quickly becomes apparent that all is not what it seems with Patty. Her outlandish tales and amazing stories send the Barker family in search of answers about the stranger now living in their home. After his birth, Keith's son Steven is diagnosed with one illness after another, and Keith's suspicions fall squarely on Patty.Desperate for understanding, the Barker family finds answers in the study of psychopathic behavior. Keith's worst fears materialize as they investigate Munchausen by Proxy, a disorder where a parent, usually the mother, makes her own child sick in order to garner attention for herself. This is the true account of a ten year battle to save the life of Steven Barker.

    THIS IS A MUST READ FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, STUDENTS AND PERSONNEL. IT'S ALSO A MUST FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WORKERS AND VICTIMS.

    This is a compelling and very informative account of abuse in its sickest form. Anyone dealing with ANY kind of Abuse will benefit by reading how this abuse was documented and witnessed.
    The Author does an excellent job in clarity and facts, which are chilling to say the least!
    Anyone dealing with liars will benefit by the documented experiences of seeking out the truth.

    Whew!

    I could not put this book down. I'd just get to a point where I thought things couldn't get any worse, the whole story would spiral wildly in the realm of craziness. I have to believe every word in the book is true, no one could make up this stuff.

    Crush was a quick read and I would highly recommend it to anyone who knows anyone who makes them feel even the slightest bit uneasy. There's a reason for it and Crush will help you understand what that reason is!

    I Also Recommend:

    Once you start, you won't be able to quit until you've finished reading.

    I thought I'd read a few pages but soon looked up to see it was 3:00 a.m. and I was finished. An amazing story which is definitely worth the read. Very informative on Munchausen by Proxy and Sociopaths. An outrageous story!

    I really liked the book and can hardly believe that this crazy woman got as far as she did. YES!!! to the Dad and wife and family for doing all they can to get custody of his son. I am all for helping out people in this particular situation.
