At age 14, I became one of Charles Manson's Girls. At 17 I helped put him in prison. This is my story.
At fourteen Dianne Lake—with little more than a note in her pocket from her hippie parents granting her permission to leave them—became one of "Charlie’s girls," a devoted acolyte of cult leader Charles Manson. In this poignant and disturbing memoir of lost innocence, coercion, survival, and healing, Dianne Lake chronicles her years with Charles Manson, revealing for the first time how she became the youngest member of his Family and offering new insights into one of the twentieth century’s most notorious criminals and life as one of his "girls."
Over the course of two years, the impressionable teenager endured manipulation, psychological control, and physical abuse as the harsh realities and looming darkness of Charles Manson’s true nature revealed itself. From Spahn ranch and the group acid trips, to the Beatles’ White Album and Manson’s dangerous messiah-complex, Dianne tells the riveting story of the group’s descent into madness as she lived it.
Though she never participated in any of the group’s gruesome crimes and was purposely insulated from them, Dianne was arrested with the rest of the Manson Family, and eventually learned enough to join the prosecution’s case against them. With the help of good Samaritans, including the cop who first arrested her and later took her into his home, the courageous young woman eventually found redemption and grew up to lead an ordinary life.
While much has been written about Charles Manson, this riveting account from an actual Family member is a chilling portrait that recreates in vivid detail one of the most horrifying and fascinating chapters in modern American history.
Member of the Family includes 16 pages of photographs.

Just when we thought there could nothing new about Charles Manson and the trial of the 20th century comes a never before published manuscript written by the Jury Foreman on the case. This piece of history had been hidden away until being discovered by Herman Tubick's daughter. The book, written in 1973 shows what it was like to be sequestered for 288 days and tasked to decide guilt or innocence, life or death. Jury foreman Tubick's notes clearly show what he and others felt was important in the witness testimony and what led to their verdict. 
INSIDE THE MANSON JURY includes additional excerpts and analysis taken from the original 20,000-page trial transcript including Manson s behind the scenes manipulations, as he tried to control the court, the lawyers, his co-defendants and the ultimate outcome. This book takes the reader into the courtroom from the perspective of the jurors and into the mind of a madman.
