(NOTE: This book doesn't belong under the category kids, it should be under the category academic/psychology. I asked the dooyoo-people to replace it, but it might take a while. Please don't read on if you are looking for a book for your kids!)

A truly devastating book. Not an easy read at all; be warned.
From the age of two until the age of sixteen Truddi Chase was raped by her step-father. Her own personality couldn't cope, froze - and she developed an array of persons, living in her body. These persons represented and defended the child towards the world.
The grown up Truddi Chase wasn't aware of her situation for a long while, until she had to consultate a psychotherapist in another matter. He found out about her multipe personalities.
This book is the result of his therapy. This book is not really written by Truddi Chase; it's written by the persons, living inside herself.
I've read the German translation of the original American book whilst a friend of mine was being treated for a similar case.
This book opens up a door and gives one a view to the cruelness and the sadness in our world. Truly devastating.
