Where the Past Begins, The Joy Luck Club, The Valley of Amazement
“…an absolutely riveting story, told as memoir but with the pulse-pounding suspense of a murder mystery. I read Layton’s account non-stop through the night, unable to let go, struck by the realization that this is not simply an account of a bygone tragedy. It has great relevance to many of the terrible events we see unfolding today, for this is a story about those who seek a better world and are then inextricably caught in a plan to end it. This is a universal tale about ideology gone awry.”

“We are living in an age where it’s nearly impossible to discern between reality and fiction. I had a similar feeling during the filming of Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple, and then again when I first read Deborah’s book, Seductive Poison. Deborah’s storytelling grips you from the beginning all the way through to the end–with characters you’re sure were plucked from the depths of her imagination. Only to find out this was her life! You’ll be enthralled, appalled, and intrigued. You won’t want to put it down until you finish. This book should be republished every few years for more generations to know about Jonestown, and the People’s Temple.”
Entertainment Weekly—
“….A fascinating account of a debacle that continues to resonate.”
The Sunday Times, UK—
“ a mesmerizing account, honest, thoughtful, beautifully written. Reads like a thriller… May be the nearest anyone will come to understanding why.”

“In this time of demagoguery, greed, fear mongering and race baiting, we are watching the fabric of our lives being shredded by individuals we have elected to represent us. How extraordinary that, ‘Seductive Poison,’ by Deborah Layton should have such relevance today. Her memoir reminds us of the dangers of foregoing the right to question and challenge those we elect to lead, and how we should never give our right to make decisions to others; that we must always stay alert and involved with the direction and governance of our society. Given the efforts to dismantle some of the rights afforded by our Constitution by those that sell fear, these are lessons that are particularly relevant today.”
