Fractured: Living nine lives to escape my own abuse

by Ruth Dee

Overview

Imagine what it would be like if your thoughts weren't the only ones in your head.
Ruth has lived with other people in her head since she was four years old. She splintered off into different selves when her grandfather began sexually abusing her. It was her way of coping with the dreadful things she endured at home. The worse things got, the more personalities Ruth created in order to try to escape her life.
Ruth eventually left home and after years of hard work, Ruth came to terms with her past and now helps others suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder.
Fractured is the story of a life torn apart by abuse and a remarkable woman who pieced herself back together again.
