At 14 Dianne Lake --- with little more than a note in her pocket from her hippie parents granting her permission to leave them --- became one of "Charlie’s girls," a devoted acolyte of cult leader Charles Manson. In this poignant and disturbing memoir of lost innocence, coercion, survival and healing, Dianne Lake chronicles her years with Charles Manson, revealing for the first time how she became the youngest member of his Family and offering new insights into one of the 20th century’s most notorious criminals and life as one of his "girls."
