This fascinating, poignant and inspirational memoir recounts her survival and journey towards mental wellness.

“The book eventuated from a stoical determination to seek freedom from overwhelming pain and memories,” Ineke said.

She has been working on her story for many years, partly as a form of therapy, assisted by the SA Writers’ Centre and by a grant for emerging artists from the Richard Llewellyn Arts and Disability Trust, which allowed her to employ a mentor and editor for her work.

Ineke wants to raise awareness of DID and offer hope to those who endure mental illness; this has given her the courage to share her remarkable story.

“I want the world to know that, like myself, you can pick yourself up from the depths of despair to live a functional and fulfilling life,” Ineke said.
