Three Faces of the Devil - by Marly Bergerud (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Coping with childhood loneliness, fear, and abuse, Marly was immersed in solitude and her love of dance. Decades later, memories began to haunt her and surface the darkness she had hidden deep in her subconscious. My Dance With the Devil is a memoir that depicts an accurate tale of courage, strength, and undying hope. In the face of adversity, from gripping, often disturbing, depictions of the dark truths to immense success, fame, and failure. As so many others have done, telling her story is an ancient way of healing.
