Kim Noble is an accomplished artist and mother of a teenage girl. She is bubbly and vivacious. To meet her you wouldn't think anything was wrong. There's just one problem. To all extents and purposes, Kim Noble does not exist. At some point before her third birthday, as a result of repeated and horrific abuse, Kim Noble's mind shattered like a glass dropped onto a hard floor. Every shard or splinter became a brand new mind, each as individual as snowflakes, and each eager to take Kim's place in the world. Kim Noble has 'multiple personalities' or Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).

Her body now plays host to many different personalities including a little boy who speaks only Latin, a gay man and an anorexic teenager. This courageous memoir takes you into the world of a woman for whom the very nature of reality is different. Her quest to make sense of her life, and to win back the child she loves, is by turns shocking, sometimes funny and inspiring.
