About

The author lives with Dissociative Identity Disorder and, as a transgender man who has walked a path shaped by both fracture and resilience. Their journey has given them a profound understanding of the fragile yet enduring nature of the human mind.
Living with DID has meant navigating the challenges of misunderstood identities, as alters sometimes act beyond our awareness. As a transgender person, they have also carried the weight of becoming our true selves in a world that often meets differences with prejudice. Through therapy, family, and unyielding persistence, they have learned to honor every inner voice and move toward wholeness.
Family, compassion, and creativity are at the center of his recovery. This novel is an act of storytelling but also a testament to his belief that brokenness does not mean hopelessness. Every life carries complexity, and every voice — even the quietest — deserves to be heard.
