Synopsis

BEFORE I COULD WALK is the courageous account of one woman's journey out of the darkness of Multiple Personality Disorder, resulting from childhood, satanic ritual abuse, into the light of wholeness. Uniquely, the author weaves her passionate feelings, sense of humor and inspirational insights into the fabric of her recovery. Overcoming her greatest fears, she successfully confronts the numerous but necessary issues of her condition and her long forgotten childhood trauma. Deliberately excluding traumatizing descriptions of the abuse this refreshing narrative focuses on topics of the diagnosis, alters, losing time, orphanhood, rage, pain, survivor guilt, integration and much more. Written in a language survivors will hear, Abigail offers the hope of restoration and healing to those who struggle in their mid-night hour. A must for all who are called out of the violence for a meaningful purpose and peace.
