Kate Barker wanted the nice things of life: the lovely home, the fine clothes, and lots of money in the bank. Kate ended up with a police slug in her heart and $10,200 in her wallet. Kate Barker, according to FBI records, was an overbearing mother who somehow lost her way on the path of motherly love. In attempting to guide, she misguided. In trying to spread affection, she nurtured hate. In her attempts to fulfill a warped sense of motherly duty, she literally loved her sons to death. Ma Barker was a woman who saw crime as a means to an end, but who never counted on things ending like they did. -- Provided by publisher.
