Description
Stepmother, Stepmonster is the riveting story of a woman whose dark secret drives her to heap shame and guilt on innocent children just because they are in the way. The universally pervasive mythos of the evil stepmother is actually the portrait of a borderline personality disorder, a twisted mind who uses her sexuality and cunning to vent her own inner emptiness and hatred, fears and shame, on those most powerless and under her control, her stepchildren. The evil stepmother is a gothic archetype that looms huge not just in fairy tales but in actual life, and Gabrielle Noble's story reveals just how much misery, havoc and destruction she can bring to a family.
