This book encourages the reader to approach Dissociative Identity Disorder from a place of such empathy that I am left in awe.
Ward has demonstrated a mastery of the craft here - somehow managing to take the reader by the hand, lead them into the depths of real horror, and gently lead them out again. The light in a tunnel is only at the end, but Ward will get you there safely, if not altogether the same.
