Member of the Family by Dianne Lake This is a memoir written by a woman who belonged to the Manson Family before and during the murders occurred in 1969. She was 15 or 16 when she joined the family, and she describes how insane it was to live with the Manson family, how Charlie would run hot and cold with his girls and then what it was like when the members committed the murders and then came back to tell her all about them. It was her testimony that ultimately helped bring down Charles Manson and the members who had committed the murders. A very interesting insight into the family.
