Steven Simmons Shelton's award-winning debut is a raw, first-person account of dissociative identity disorder (DID)—once called multiple personality disorder—in which his psyche fractured during childhood trauma, leaving him to fend against alternative personalities who pursued their own lives.
Written like a psychological thriller, Shelton's Memoir of a Mangled Mind holds nothing back in its unflinching portrayal of a misunderstood mental disorder that, in his case, endangered himself and everyone around him.
At age sixteen, blackouts take over Steve Simmons's life. He loses hours, days, and weeks at a time. Terrified he'll be institutionalized or disbelieved, Steve doesn't tell anyone.
He discovers he has multiple personalities, a mental disorder that developed years earlier when sexual predators targeted him. Originally created as a protective mechanism, these "alters" hijack his consciousness to live their own lives—one as a thief and the other as a gay prostitute.
By refusing to tell anyone of his condition or seek proper mental health treatment, Steve grants his doppelgangers free rein to drag him down the paths of crime and debauchery.
To maintain his freedom and reputation, Steve discards his ethical compass in order to conceal his alters' criminal activities—even after becoming an attorney at one of the world's premier litigation firms.
This deeply personal memoir lays bare Steve's childhood sexual assaults and the poor judgment he exercises to hide his mental disorder caused by the trauma.
How will he navigate the road to redemption?
