Can Lyn reclaim her sanity in the midst of chaos and confusion? A happy wife and mother who loved nothing more than taking care of her brood, Lyn Barrett was knocked off course by a family crisis that triggered her inner world to crumble. Her diagnosis of multiple personality disorder, now known as dissociative identity disorder, threatened her life as she knew it, her family, and her future. With the knowledge that DID is a coping strategy young children use to protect themselves from chronic trauma, Lyn embarked on a journey to discover her true self.

Industry Reviews

"A wonderful story of overcoming adversity and reclaiming

your life with fragmented traumatic memory."

-Jaime Pollock, Founder and Director of An Infinite Mind


"A life-changing book-for survivors, for those who love them,

and for anyone who wants to educate themselves on trauma-induced dissociation,

particularly its manifestation as DID."

-Linda Crocket, Director of Safe Communities, Author of The Deepest Wound: How a Journey to El Salvador Led to Healing from Mother-Daughter Incest


 ". . . a beautifully written, exceptionally honest story of hope and recovery, and a beacon of hope to those who

still suffer from the effects of childhood sexual abuse and emotional wounding."

-Rev. Tilda Norberg, MDiv, Founder of Gestalt Pastoral Care and

Author of Consenting to Grace: An Introduction to Gestalt Pastoral Care



"Barrett's prose style is precise and rich, and she excels at communicating her complex emotional states, 

keeping the reader grounded even when she describes the experience of switching between personalities . . ."

-Kirkus Review
