While growing up in the Midwest amid less-than-ideal circumstances, Jolene Butler is focused only on surviving abandonment, molestation, and the wrong kind of attention from her alcoholic mother and abusive stepfather. It is not until she graduates from high school that Jolene is finally able to escape her situation and pursue her dream of becoming a doctor. As she arrives in Nashville to attend college, a new chapter begins for Jolene. After she takes the first step toward divorcing herself from her true experiences, she quickly learns the art of manipulation. As she lies and misleads those around her to get her way and hopefully excel in the medical field, Jolene transforms into a covert malignant narcissist determined to use gaslighting, projection, victimization, and triangulation techniques to form allies and create enemies. But while leaving a trail of destruction for whoever is unlucky enough to cross her path, Jolene has no idea that her behavior may one day come back to haunt her. The World According to Jolene is the insightful story of a covert narcissist who manipulates others and destroys relationships while attempting to carve a path forward after suffering through a horrific childhood.
