New Memoir "Stolen Hearts" Shines Light on Parental Alienation and Covert Narcissistic Abuse.

Survivor Shelly Kesur Shares Her Journey to Help Others Recognize Warning Signs and Reclaim Their Lives.


KINGMAN, Ariz. - Feb. 4, 2026 - PRLog -- Shelly Kesur releases her powerful memoir, Stolen Hearts, a raw and unflinching account of surviving covert narcissistic abuse and the devastating impact of parental alienation. This 360-page paperback offers both a deeply personal story of survival and a vital resource for parents navigating similar circumstances.

Stolen Hearts chronicles Kesur's harrowing experience with a covert narcissist and the systematic alienation of her children—a form of emotional abuse that remains widely misunderstood. Through her journey from manipulation to healing, Kesur provides readers with insight into recognizing the subtle tactics of covert narcissists and the courage required to break free.

"I wrote this book to help other people going through living with a covert narcissist and to help them get out of that situation before the narcissist alienates their children against them," says Kesur. "I am qualified to write this because I went through this hell."

Parental alienation, increasingly recognized by mental health professionals as a form of psychological abuse, occurs when one parent manipulates children to reject the other parent. Kesur's memoir breaks the silence surrounding this issue, offering validation to those experiencing similar trauma and practical wisdom born from lived experience.

Stolen Hearts serves multiple purposes: it's a survivor's testimony, a cautionary tale about covert narcissistic relationships, and a roadmap for those seeking to protect themselves and their children from emotional manipulation. Kesur's honest storytelling provides hope that healing is possible, even after profound loss.

The book is particularly valuable for:
  • Parents experiencing or suspecting parental alienation
  • Individuals in relationships with covert narcissists
  • Family law professionals and therapists working with affected families
  • Anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of psychological abuse
Stolen Hearts is available now on Amazon in paperback format for $23.95.
