| Publisher Description: At the age of 12, Michele Sexton was sexually molested and, unable to cope with the trauma, "fractured" into another personality. "Little Michele," perpetually 12 years old, "went to sleep." In her place emerged another seven personalities over the years who "lived out" Michele's life for her. It wasn't until "awakening" at the age of 45 that Michele regained her memory of those years and was aware of the eight personalities living within her: * "Little Michele," the 12-year-old who was "asleep" during those years. * "Melancholy Michele," who carried her grief and depression. * "Party Chele," who became an alcoholic and drug addict. * "Professional Michele," who worked and provided a financial income. * "Mama Michele," who was married and raised four boys. * "Little Miss Perfect," who always sought perfectionism. * "The Church Lady," who was saved and active in church. * "The Bitch," who was the protector of all the personalities during those years. This is her story, told in the third person through "Chelsea," including her miraculous deliverance of all the personalities at the age of 45. |
