She cut off her entire family and childhood friends and moved away in her 20’s. She’s now 45 yrs old with her book coming out soon. She has never actually named my in-laws names but it’s still slander. Is there ANY way to get her to see the truth? The truth is that her parents were loving people and never harmed her. We’ve given her evidence to disprove her story but she still believes she is an Illuminatti victim of satanic sexual abuse.

sorry here on america we have freedoms. one of those freedoms is to express ourselves in what ever ways we want to. america doesnt limit what people write. the only thing you and your family can do is wait until the book is actually published and released to the public. then if those who feel she portrayed them wrong wants to they can take her to court and show documentation and proof that what she said is not true.
more likely what may happen is that everyone may consider the fact that she is mentally ill and as part of her illness what you may not see as true, for her it is true. theres no way to tell someone that they can not write something in their book simply because they are having delusions and hallucinations.
let me give you an example... when I am having hallucinations and delusions because of my bipolar disorder and MS no one can tell me I cant write whats going on in my head down or type it into a book or journal. its my reality, flawed as it is at that moment its still my own views, thoughts and so on about my life and childhood.
just like someone cant tell you not to believe this person is slandering others or not to believe believe the parents were kind and loving. thats your own interpretation, your own belief and your own perception of these parents. nothing can change that for you.
nothing is going to change this sister in laws point of view, its her own interpretation, her own belief and her own perception.
heres another example.... one of my daughers has medically induced delusions and hallucinations.... one day I just could not understand why she felt her favorite toy was harmful to her. her treatment provider showed me a display she made to help parents...
on one side of the front side of a box is a yellow tennis ball. Just an every day run of the mill tennis ball. on the back side of a box is a yellow tennis ball but also has spikes all over it, and garishly evil eyes and mouth. the front side is what normal people see when they look at a tennis ball. the back side is what a schizophrenic/ psychosis, medically induced hallucinations/ delusional person sees. now you put a normal person on one side and the delusional one on the other. they are both looking at a yellow tennis ball but ones perceptions and view (perfectly harmless, ok soft loving ...) is different than the other (evil out to harm, did harm and so on) nothing is going to change each persons point of view.
my point your sister in laws perception, views and beliefs may not be the same as yours but they are hers.
my suggestion is if this continues to bother you contact a mental health treatment provider who can help you to deal with your own problems as a family member of someone who is mentally ill. since your sister in law is an adult only she can decide what she wants to write in her book. its her book.
