Summary: Mind consuming
Comment: This book is written in a variety of styles. Nevertheless, to read it is to somehow be able to look inside the mind of one unique multiple and experience in a small way the horror she survived.
It is disturbing to the mind of one who has never experienced such a life, but at the same time, I can imagine that it would bring huge relief and confirm much, to the mind of one who has suffered some of the same types of abuse this woman has suffered.
DID is a process whereby the mind is able to split off, in order to protect the core person from the atrocities it has suffered. The alters do a great job of allowing the person to not only survive but function well in everyday life. The time comes though in adulthood when the desire to be normal overrides the desire to continue to function the old way.
With Trudi, she chose not to integrate and also chose to get to know all 90 plus alters, giving each one time. Her story is not over, in that I can find no mention of an update anywhere on the internet. She seems to have faded away.
Reading this book will help the multiple, the therapist and the friend. If you are newly diagnosed or have suffered sexual abuse, be forewarned, there is much graphic detail that will upset you.

Summary: The Only Sane Response to an Insane Situation...
Comment: The Human Spirit is resilient and the mind of the child born as Truddi Chase and who became the Troops are pioneers for those who have until recently no voice ... she exposes poignantly the horror, the pain and the marvelous way a mind can protect itself through the creation of many to help cope with the devastation heaped on her by two very deranged people, who called themselves parents. The movie based on the book is Voices Within and does a good job ... but read this book if you or anyone you know is a multiple and/or a survivor of intense and long term abuse. Troops thank you all!
Rating: 5
Summary: Fantastic
Comment: This is a fantastically done book. It is well worth the read. What this child went through is astounding. The courage to come to the other side is amazing. Abuse is abuse is abuse no matter what form it comes in. For a child to survive is a feat in itself. I applaud this author!
Other books to look for along the lines of abuse,courage and self healing are: Nightmares Echo, A Child Called It,Sickened and Running With Scissors.
