from the back cover:

One woman . . .
Four persons

Beth. . . Sweet and docile
Betsy. . .Vicious and sadistic
Bess. . . arrogant and vulgar
Elizabeth. . .vulnerable and shy

Which of the four would gain control of her body?

Behind this lovely face lay a bird's nest of conflicting personalities, a savage struggle for sanity that made living a nightmare.
