Debby Berry is a salesman. Behind the public persona is the oft-repeated catchphrase "Make them laugh, make them cry, make them want to buy." Regardless of who technically employs her (anyone want to look into that? Neither she nor Eric officially work for anyone, because of their tax debt), Debby is always selling herself. Different things were supposed to be her big ticket to fame and fortune- first it was going to be her striking it big in the publishing world with Larry Flynt. Then when she was fired there, it was her miraculous conversion to Christianity, then it was going to be her miracle lotion that healed everything under the sun. Then it was cancer. When it first came up, she began talking about the books she would write and the fact that self publishing would get her more money, and that she needed to get her name out as much as possible NOW.
She is funny. She will make you laugh. She will make you cry- and she is sure she will make you buy. But what are you really buying? The fruit in her life just isn't there. There is a bloody path of victims behind her in her quest for money and notoriety. Her own daughter has publicly likened her to Machiavelli. Think before you buy-and remember that buying isn't just about money. For her, it's also about a following.
