In a remarkable memoir that reads like a novel, Jill Root's mind shattered without warning one morning, and a strange child's voice crashed like a stone through the surface of her apparently normal life. Beneath that surface lay an abyss of confusion and denial that ripped Jill's consciousness into unrecognizable pieces that would take years of work with three very different therapists to reassemble.

The mystery of her symptoms unfolds layer by layer, along with her struggle to accept a reality quite different from the idyllic childhood she had believed in. Dialogues with her charismatic father and emotionally distant mother create portraits of denial, and actual transcriptions of therapy sessions provide unique insight into the process of healing. This book will give reassurance and hope to survivors of trauma, and guidance to the partners and mental health professionals who struggle to help them.
