Fisheye: A Candid Close-Up of the Narcissist's Bait-and-Switch Con

by Trish Thorpe

Part memoir (LGBT, Hollywood) part guidebook about how to recognize toxic narcissism, and part testimonial to the resilience and strength of women, this quick-read book is an eye-opener.

You’ll find an intimate, hopeful account of the author's "privileged" Hollywood upbringing and aftermath including over-the-top affluence, ignored adolescence, free-for-all parenting, addiction/recovery, and a resultant lopsided same-sex family. It’s not until becoming a parent herself, that the author is able to finally put together and overcome the persistent narcissistic puzzle pieces that have handcuffed her life.

The most profound takeaway here is a magnified look at women's ability to heal from the narcissist's bait-and-switch con. For anyone who is hopeful about the potential for women's long-overdue equal footing in our world, this book is for you.
