A DANCE WITH THE DEVIL is a page-turning expose of psychopaths. Barbara bares her soul as a victim and survivor in a must-read written to help men and women recognize a psychopath’s deviate behavior before it’s too late for them. As a victims, she is enchanted by an impostor retired rear admiral, who is the son of Admiral Perry of World War II Seabees fame. Her admiral drains her financially and emotionally, and then attempts to kill her. Afterwards, Bentley is victimized by the no-fault divorce law of California. She’s told she must give the man who tried to murder her half of her retirement fund, alimony, and medical and car insurance. As a survivor, she discovers personal growth, which frees her from the psychopath and propels her to change the absurd sacrosanct law.

When life threw her an unprecedented curve, Barbara took the experience and turned it into the book A DANCE WITH THE DEVIL. She discovered her 4 P’s (passion, planning, patience and persistence) and decided to write a book to share how she had used them in her life to achieve goals. The result is THE LITTLE BOOK OF SUCCESS. In it she offers readers the inspiration that they can also achieve their dreams. She shares four of her personal journeys and shows how passion, planning, patience and persistence helped her reach her goals of building a home, pursuing a college degree while working full time, writing a book and changing the law. At the end of each chapter, there are questions to “Give it Some Thought.” When life seems to be getting the better of you, read this book for an extra nudge to keep you moving forward. Let it inspire you to recognize the greatness within you.

“Thanks for a great little book, big in impact with
personal examples, vivid stories and thought-provoking
questions at the end of each of the 4 P’s. I especially
resonated with this book because in my book in 1991, I
outlined 5 P’s to success and your 4 were on the list.
The P’s really work and your book makes it easy to
apply them to making your life work.”
Patricia Raskin, Media Broadcaster, Author, Speaker,
Host of “Patricia Raskin Positive Living” Radio shows
“My success as a novelist began when I adopted the
principle of the four P’s. Many have talent, but it is
pursuing our dreams with passion and overcoming
obstacles with patience, persistence and, sometimes,
prayer, that brings true success. The Little Book of
Success should be on every home coffee table.
Robert Dugoni, New York Times Bestselling Author.
