Beyond These Walls: The True Story of a Lost Child's Journey to a Whole Life
"A triumph of life over death...a remarkable story of integrity." --Prof. Dana Cloud, Department of Communication Studies, University of TexasWritten by psychotherapist Rachel Gunner and Disassociative Identity Disorder sufferer Hanna Gabriele, Beyond These Walls: The True Story of a Lost Child's Journey to a Whole Life is the true story of Hanna's struggle with 26 separate personalities that drove her to the point of attempting suicide. It was therapist Rachel Gunner's challenge to help Hanna find integration and wholeness in her life. Beyond These Walls is not written in the style of a clinical case study, but rather as a gentle, step-by-step recounting of Hanna's long journey toward healing and stability. A profound insight into coping with a life-shattering mental disorder, day by day. --Midwest Book ReviewI was fascinated with BEYOND THESE WALLS. It is definitely not only for professionals. People who enjoy reading about internal odysseys toward health, especially multiple personality case histories, will find in it much that is new and satisfying. SYBIL, THE THREE FACES OF EVE, and WHEN RABBIT HOWLS were all bestsellers, and BEYOND THESE WALLS has just as much human interest. --Readers Choice Reviews
