Kim Noble is an accomplished artist whose work has been exhibited
around the world. She is a mother with a 13-year-old daughter. She
is a bubbly and vivacious woman. To meet her you wouldn't think
anything was wrong. But when Kim was younger than five years old,
her personality splintered and fractured. In 1995 she was finally
diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) which has been
described as a creative way to cope with unbearable pain. Now her
body plays host to more than 20 different personalities, or
'alters'. There are women and men, adults and children; there is a
scared little boy who speaks only Latin, an elective mute, a gay
man and an anorexic teenager. Some alters age with her body; others
are stuck in time. ALL OF ME takes the reader through the
extraordinary world of a woman for whom the very nature of reality
is different. It will tell of her terrifying battles to understand
her own mind; of her desperate struggle against all odds to win
back the child she loved; and of her courage and commitment in
trying to make sense of her life. It is by turns shocking,
inspiring, sometimes funny, and deeply moving.
