A , , and bestseller, chronicles Cameron West's desperate journey to understand his fragmented mind and ultimately achieve the triumph of a regular life.
Cameron West was in his thirties, a successful businessman, happily married and the father of a young son when he spoke these words. The 'voice' he heard belonged to Davy, the first of twenty-four distinct alter personalities to emerge over a period of several months as West began to recall memories of horrific abuse he'd repressed since childhood. Along with Davy, there was eight-year-old Clay, tense and stuttering; twelve-year-old Dusty, gentle and kind, but disappointed to find herself in a man's body; Bart, lighthearted with a sense of humor; Lief, focused and driven, who got things done, but often overwhelmed West with his intensity; and nineteen other personalities, all with distinct characteristics, mannerisms, and memories, created by West to protect his psyche from the trauma of repeated sexual abuse at the hands of family members.
In addition to a spellbinding story, West provides rare and unprecedented insight into the fascinating condition known as dissociative identity disorder, the working of the mind of a multiple, and his alters' coexistence with one another and with the world 'outside.' Heart-wrenching, humorous, and ultimately hopeful, is a story that will make you stand in awe of the power of the mind to protect itself and cheer for West as he struggles to gain control of his life.
Cameron West was born in Chicago, married Rikki while working as a touring musician in Boston, and became a father while working as a recording artist in Nashville. He was diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder in 1993. During the course of his treatment, twenty-four separate personalities emerged. Cam earned a PhD in psychology in the years following his diagnosis, and his condition is now largely under control. After years of living around the world, the Wests now reside on California's Central Coast.
