Shattered lives takes an in-depth look at the personas of the couple, Cezanne Visser and Dirk Prinsloo, who's antics in and out of court captivated South Africa and dominated newspaper headlines for years since their arrest almost 8 years ago. Although entitled Advocate Barbie, the book looks at much more than the circumstances surrounding Cezanne's past and her time with Dirk Prinsloo. Shattered lives also unravels the little that is known about Prinsloo; the stories of the child victims affected by the couple's antics, and in particular the destruction wrought on Jeannine du Plessis, who eventually died alone and broken across the border in Botswana; as well as a variety of intimate details revealed during Visser's trial which, until now, have not been public knowledge. In all, Shattered lives, is a realistic look at the gritty tale of exploitation and abuse that many endured at the hands of convicted offender, Cezanne Visser, and now convicted bank robber, Dirk Prinsloo, and the aftermath of their destructive relationship.Authored by former Eyewitness News reporter, Liezl Thom, and Forensic Profiler, Laurie Pieters. It is a behind-the-hype account of the human tragedy that began in the affluent suburb of Raslouw, then took a nasty turn on the streets of Sunnyside, eventually ending as the doors of Pretoria Central Prison slammed shut behind "Advocate Barbie". 

Careers were destroyed and lives torn apart as the advocate couple played Russian Roulette with the futures of the innocent. Shattered Lives reveals the tragic aftermath of the lover's destructive relationship and brings to the fore many previously unknown and intimate details of their escapades.
