Title: Many Faces of Courage
Review: I read "Multiple Journeys to One" in October 1999, when it was hot off the presses. It is an amazing testament to human resiliency. As an empathetic person and a "novice" in the area of severe abuse and DID, I was afraid it might be too horrifying. Heeding the cautionary statement about disturbing material and reading with care, I started with the Endorsements, Foreword, Acknowledgements & Introduction, all of which are beautifully written...and Brooke's story, which I appreciated. After reading all the stories, my admiration for one of the authors (a personal friend) and all others who manage to survive such trauma to regrow themselves into such loving, compassionate people grew hugely. I wonder how abusers and perpetrators manage to face themselves? And in considering such circumstances, have wondered if I could have emerged with such strength, resiliency and forgiveness? This is a richly rewarding read and worth your time.
