 This book is about Lynette Fromme, who was rechristened by the Manson Family to Squeaky. Lynette sang in the school choir, she danced, and she even was able to perform for President Eisenhower at one point. Lynette was searching for something that was missing in her life, perhaps a parental figure. She met Charles Manson and began a downward spiral that culminated in her incarceration for the attempted assassination of President Gerald Ford. I bought this book because I was interested in the Manson Family and all of their activities. I learned quite a bit about the Manson Family and the way they operate from this book, as well as the life of Lynette Fromme. I gave this book only three stars because there were a lot of parts that were boring to me. If anyone else is interested in the Manson Family, this is a good book to put in your collection.
