Was the murder self-defense' Premeditated' Or was something else altogether at hand' In this searing exploration of deadly codependency, the author takes the reader on a spellbinding voyage of discovery that examines the questions: Are some people naturally too caring' Is caring sometimes a mask for darker motives' Can science help
