Description
Taking the reader
through an extraordinary world where the very nature of reality is
different, this personal narrative tells the story of one woman's
terrifying battle to understand her own mind. From the desperate
struggle to win back the child she loves to the courage and commitment
needed to make sense of her life, this account recalls Kim Noble's many
years in and out of mental institutions and various diagnoses until
finally being appropriately diagnosed with dissociative identity
disorder (DID). Described as a creative way some minds cope with
unbearable pain, DID causes her body to play host to more than 20
different personalities-from a little boy who speaks only Latin and an
elective mute to a gay man and an anorexic teenager. Funny and
ultimately uplifting, this brave illumination of the links and
intersections between memory, mental illness, and creativity offers a
glimpse into the mind of someone with DID and helps readers understand
the confusion, frustration, and everyday difficulties in living with
this disorder.
Kim Noble is an artist whose work has been exhibited around the world. She appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show in October 2010 to discuss the disorder.
