Cameron West was in his thirties, a successful businessman, happily married and the father of a young son when twenty-four distinct personalities began to emerge over a period of several months and recount memories of horrific abuse that had been kept secret from West all his life. The author offers a poignant account of his efforts to understand the workings of his fragmented mind and to heal his damaged spirit as he desperately hung on to the slender thread that connected him to his wife, his son, and some semblance of a regular life. There is rare and unprecedented insight into the fascinating workings of the mind of a multiple and his alters' coexistence with one another and with those "outside." This book is heartwrenching, humorous, and ultimately hopeful.
