Betty Broderick: Telling on myself

Betty Broderick spent years supporting her husband Dan through lean times, raising their children largely on her own while both of them looked toward a more comfortable future. Then she learned that he was unfaithful and planned to leave. Dan, a formidable divorce attorney, denied the affair and called her unstable, while he maneuvered to keep the property she had helped build and hand it to a younger woman. Under relentless pressure from the couple, Betty reached a breaking point in November 1989 and shot them both. Many people have since sympathized with her, and she has served decades of a long sentence. In this book she sets down her own version of the events leading to that morning, looking back on the years that ended so suddenly for all three of them.
