Written by the man with Dissociate Identity Disorder who was on the Oprah Show this February (1999), this book is exactly what it says it is: Cam's life as a Multiple. Written like a novel, complete with lots of dialogue and description, what I like best about this book is how his relationship with his wife is presented. It gave me a fresh view of what my husband goes through both because of my abuse history itself, but also because I have DID--a hopeful viewpoint, definately, but also very honest. There are three (I think) scenes in this book that are pretty triggering--episodes when Cam's alters tell about the sexual abuse his mother and grandmother inflicted on him, so be careful of those. There's also three of four references to self-injury (some graphic) to be ready for.
