Publisher's summary

In The Making of a Multiple Personality, Cammie endured the unspeakable, most of which she doesn’t remember. After waking up pinned under her beloved dead grandma’s arm, she zoned out and created another personality to deal with the trauma. She was unaware that she was creating other personalities to deal with the childhood trauma she was going through. 

After her father and mother divorced, life seems like living in a fairy tale. She and her sister Priss love their new stepmother, Veronica, and their stepsisters, whose father died and left them to deal with their grief with their mother several years previously. 

Life continues on. As the four girls become teenagers, Cammie and Priss’ stepsisters excel. On the other hand, Cammie and Priss start acting out, using drugs, and becoming promiscuous. Their father Mark and stepmother Veronica are at their wit's end, trying to figure out how to deal with their behavior. They all had been attending a church, where Mark and Veronica become friends with a couple who were attending Al-Anon. They start attending Al-Anon to deal with what was going on in their family. They have no idea what visitations with their biological mother, Michelle, have done to them. 

The family on the farm has an unspeakable secret life. Is that what has led to Cammie’s multiple personality disorder? Is that why Priss ran away? 

In this sequel, The Making of a Multiple Personality II: Splintered, Cammie and her husband Dan start to deal with recovery, if for no other reason than to be functional parents to their precious baby girl, Angel. Recovery only seems to make things worse for the young couple when Cammie starts having blackouts. Dan and Cammie’s father and stepmother are terrified to leave her alone with the baby. Michelle is doing her best to suck Cammie back into the dark world of drugs and Satanism. How will Cammie deal with her mother, who is involved in the dark world of Satanism? Will she be lured back into the horrors of addiction and evil? Can anyone possibly recover from such hell? 

Come along on this shocking listen. How can a family survive from the manipulations of such evil? Can God do the impossible?

Made it through

The change is narrator is def not for the good. Such a shame, this narrator sounded like someone reading a boring bedtime story. No emotion, no emphasis and no variation. I made myself listed to the end and am glad I did. Would have rated five stars if not for the horrible narration.

The reader voice

Disliked the reader voice change, unable to distinguish the different voices and very monotone. Overall enjoyed the book it brought to life the struggles of dealing with a mental illness that sometimes goes untreated for years.
