 Unlike the Manson Family, Lyman’s did not explode in a dramatic denouement.Rather, the Family took a lower profile and carried on, quietly building on the relationships formed in the turbulent early years.Another description of life in the Lyman Family comes from actress and screenwriter Guinevere Turner who spent her first eleven years (1968-1979) in the family, being expelled after her mother (who lived apart from her) escaped.
