Synopsis
Imagine what it would be like if your thoughts weren't the only ones in your head.
Ruth has lived with other people in her head since she was four years old. She splintered off into different selves when her grandfather began sexually abusing her. It was her way of coping with the dreadful things she endured at home. The worse things got, the more personalities Ruth created in order to try to escape her life.
Ruth eventually left home and after years of hard work, Ruth came to terms with her past and now helps others suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder.
Fractured is the story of a life torn apart by abuse and a remarkable woman who pieced herself back together again.

About the Author
Ruth Dee is a remarkable woman. Married with three grown up children, she suffered a childhood of abuse where her only escape was within herself. She developed Multiple Personality Disorder, and her memoir, Fractured tells of her courageous story, splintering off in to her different selves and eventually finding a way out.
Until five years ago Ruth had worked in education all her life. She now collaborates with research psychologists working on Multiple Personality Disorder and lectures student nurses on how to diagnose the condition.
