"SPELLBINDING!"
- TIME

More amazing than any work of fiction, yet true in every word, it swept to the top of the bestseller lists and riveted the consciousness of the world.  As an Emmy Award-winning film starring Sally Field, is captured the home screens of an entire nation and has endured as the most electrifying TV movie ever made.  It's the true story of a survivor of terrifying childhood abuse, victim of sudden and mystifying blackouts, and the first case of multiple personality ever to be psychoanalyzed.  You're about to meet Sybil - and the sixteen selves to whom she played host, both women and men, each with a different personality, speech pattern, and even personal appearance.  You'll experience the strangeness and fascination of the woman's rare affliction - and travel with her on her long, ultimately triumphant journey back to wholeness.

"A MOVING HUMAN NARRATIVE."
- New York Review of Books

"ASTONISHING... IT FORCES YOU TO LOOK AT YOURSELF AND THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU IN A NEW WAY."

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
