The strange world inhabited by those afflicted with schizophrenia or multiple personality syndrome is virtually impenetrable. By illuminating these convoluted worlds, both books make major contributions to the understanding of mental illness. North began to exhibit manifestations of schizophrenia as a child. Desite her acceptance of "voices" and "visions" as reality, the reader can easily identify with her as she struggles through her schooling. She graphically descibes her breakdowns and traumatic hospitalizations during her college years and in medical school. Her eventual success in conquering her disability and attaining her goal of becoming a physician evokes a sense of exhilaration

Disturbing sexual content, which might bother even otherwise impeturbable readers. Reads like fiction, which required me to constantly remind myself that this was supposedly real.

very disturbing book. The story of a multiple personality. Very real & very heartbreaking that such a thing exists in our world.

Very powerful and riveting. Heart breaking but true story. It was so powerful I remembered about this story on Oprah in 1987 while i was only 7 and was still looking for this book. Just got it a week ago. But it is that memorable and moving.

A world of 92 voices has lived with in her since childhod. Now a woman and her therapist joourney back to the unspeakable crimes she suffered to discover where the nightmare began..
Black Ktherine is the willful guardian of the chidren. Sewer Mouth voices rage in a torant of four letter words. Twelve is the sensitive artistic child. These are some of the personalities.

I don't think I'll ever forget this book! It's an autobiography of a woman who survived incest and child abuse. She developed 92 personalities. I cried reading this book!

after seeing truddi chase on Larry King Live, i just had to get he book.
i read it many years ago but i remember it being a very good book different from Sybil but just as interesting. if you are interested in multiple personalities it is a great read

I picked up this book for free at a garage sale and began reading it without really looking at the front or back covers so I didn't realize till a few chapters in when I noticed that it was 'reading funny'. That's when I discovered it was autobiographical. Knowing this the book took on a whole new meaning for me. It was an amazing book considering that 92 'people' wrote it. I'm glad she found the help she needed and hope that she has found some peace in her life.

Very interesting, makes one want to take action against childhood sexual abuse. Very different from Sybil. Very many viewpoints, even from abusers themselves.

This is a very interesting book. It is hard to read at times but knowing she wants her story out there to help others is remarkable.

Awful awful awful book. I threw it away after the first couple of chapters. Why would anyone want to read about such terrible sexual, emotional, and physical abuse? For what prurient reasons?

Incredible book, I'm sort of surprised to see it available. This is a keeper.

This is a phenomenal book about dissociative identity disorder/multiple personality disorder. This copy is older so the pages have yellowed somewhat. Still an incredible read.

a story of mutiple personalities similar to Sybil--an abused child separating herself into many persons to protect herself
