Description: A criminology professor goes behind bars to chronicle the extraordinary story of Leslie Van Houten, one of the infamous Manson girls, describing her early life, her involvement with and his groups 1969 rampage, her life in prison, and her struggle to rediscover her own identity.

I was pretty disappointed in this book. Karlene Faith relies on an overabundance of clichés and a meager sprinkling of insight into the character of Leslie Van Houten and Van Houtens involvement in the Manson . Although published in 2001, the book reads as if it might have been written thirty years ago, at the beginning of the feminist movement. Leslie and her fellow murderesses are given every consideration: they were victims of cultivated femininity, they never lost their innocence, they were so brainwashed they relinquished all control and thought; however, Faith contradicts herself when excusing Leslies involvement in the as, ...Although part of his inner circle, Leslie was never part of Mansons inner, INNER circle. She would lapse into thinking for herself.... So in one fell swoop, the author denies Leslies culpability and recognizes it.In spite of that, one gets the feeling that Leslie herself has taken on more responsibility for her involvement than the author gives credit for. What Leslie seems to recognize, which the author does not, is that the Manson murders branded themselves on the American psyche, and society demands a price be paid. The author becomes downright offensive when she coyly alludes to other murders and murderers since then who have not received the notoriety of the Manson girls, suggesting perhaps that we are being a tad unfair in having the audacity to remember the shock and horror of the Tate-LaBianca deaths.The author spends much time on Charles Manson and his responsibility as leader of the cult. What she forgets is that members were free to come and go, and various people DID walk away from Manson and his personality. Faith also takes pains to mark how the Manson girls are exceptional in their good behavior in prison, apparently without noting the irony that they were exceptional members of Mansons inner circle, and before that Van Houten was an exceptional student and twice prom queen. It makes me wonder if these womens ability to get along in the unnatural atmosphere of prison is linked to their ability to have gotten along in the bizarre world of Mansons philosophy...and just how well they would be able to integrate themselves outside of the rigidly controlled environment of prison should any of them meet another guru.In the end, this book gives more insight into the authors embrace of victim ideology, and quite a bit less into the mindset and maturity of a major participant in the crime of the century. I cannot imagine this book helped Leslie Van Houtens case for parole.
