Mother of Manipulation: Where Faith is a Weapon and Love is a Lie - Paperback

by Athena Poindexter (Author)

"A mothers love can be a prison. Hers was a weapon."

Jamal Price has spent years rebuilding his life-a stable marriage, a newborn daughter, and a hard-won peace-all to escape the suffocating grip of his narcissistic mother, Beatrice. But when tragedy strikes and Beatrice slithers back into his world, Jamal's fragile resolve shatters.

Beatrice Price is a master manipulator. To strangers, she is charm; to Jamal, she is the architect of his nightmares. Her narcissism knows no bounds-gaslighting, guilt, and God are her tools, and she wields them with surgical precision. Now, she wants control over his new family, and she'll exploit every secret, every scar, to get it.

As Jamal battles her relentless schemes, the ghosts of his childhood return: the barn where he and his siblings were punished, the chilling silence after his sister Jasmine's death, and the suffocating lies Beatrice spun to bury her sins. To protect his daughter, Jamal must confront the truth about his mother's cruelty-and the dark legacy she's determined to continue.

A harrowing dive into narcissistic abuse, religious manipulation, and the scars of survival, Mother of Manipulation will leave you breathless-and questioning how far a mother's malice can reach.

A relentless, bone-chilling portrayal of narcissism's poison.
