Sixteen years after the incident, Buttafuoco wrote a book telling her story, Getting It Through My Thick Skull: Why I Stayed, What I Learned, and What Millions of People Involved with Sociopaths Need to Know. She was inspired to write the book after her son referred to her ex-husband as a sociopath. Not knowing what the word meant, she looked it up and had a realization leading to her going public with her story. The title of the book comes from a saying her mother often used with her, "when are you going to get it through your thick skull?" The memoir describes her whole life, not just focusing on her shooting. She describes how she felt manipulated to stay with a person who was a sociopath. Booklist called the book "strangely compelling," and said that "Readers will want to know – why did she stay with him?"
