Lost in the Reflecting Pool

A memoir and a psychological love story that is tender but, at the time, horrifying. Lost in the Reflecting Pool is a chronicle of one woman's struggle to survive within, and to ultimately break free of - a relationship with a man incapable of caring about anyone beyond himself.

When Diane, a psychologist falls in love with Charles, a charming and brilliant psychiatrist,
there is laughter, flowers.....and also darkness.  After moving through infertility treatments and the trials of the adoption process, the couple is ultimately successful.  However,
in time, Charles becomes critical and controlling leaving Diane feeling battered.  

When Diane is diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer, Charles' attentiveness quickly vanishes and is replaced by withdrawal, anger, and sadism.  Diana recognizes these actions at pathological narcissism and emotional abuse that turns venomous.
