Marina Lorca spent almost a year in a psychiatric rehab center. Unlike the other patients, however, she had no interest in getting high. She only used when one of her other personalities was in control. Upon release, Marina's counselor referred her to Esther Laird, a therapist who specialized in dissociative identity disorder. With Esther's guidance, Marina began to process the ritualistic abuse that had permeated her childhood, and she grew more adept at communicating with the alternate personalities that had arisen to help her cope with it. But getting all of her "parts" to work in harmony became urgent when a former abuser went missing-abducted by one of her alters. Providing insight into a poorly understood and very real condition, Sum of Her Parts tells the gripping story of a survivor who learns to take the reins of her own mind.
