 This House Divided   
A novel based on a true story of multiple personality disorder Read Book Review  
By: Sukie Lang & David Haggith  
In 1979 Sukie and Chris Lang adopted a baby girl in Seoul, Korea, not knowing she was probably one or two years older than her birth certificate stated. From the moment the couple first held the child, she was lethargic and weak, and showed signs of an eating disorder. As the years progressed, her behavior became more erratic and difficult to understand with wild stories of abuse that didn't seem possible. Thinking their daughter was possessed, the Langs turned toward their church for help. After several failed exorcisms and suicide attempts, they took the child to a psychologist who diagnosed her as having Multiple Personality Disorder.

This House Divided is the narrative account of the Lang's true experience. Unable to find a psychologist who could take her child on as a long-term client, Sukie became concerned that Karmie's bewildering disorder would become even more complicated as she continued to develop new personalities. So, Sukie dropped her career in the financial world and pursued a Master of Arts in Counseling in order to become her own daughter's counselor.

This House Divided is an intensely emotional mother-daughter drama about a family that cracks under stress, then pulls together under a new and unusual definition of family. It is a story of religious faith maturing from reliance on pat answers into a deep and healing strength. And, in the end, it is a story about healing from MPD.

I have read other books by David Haggith and knew that this one would be excellent as well. I wasn't disappointed. After reading the first chapter I knew that I'd want to download and read the entire book (which I did!)

The first chapter is great, made me want to read the rest of the book and so I bought it and downloaded it. This book will sell as readers tell others about it. You should publish it yourself with laser publishing you don't have to print any copies, the copies are printed after each other. That is how I did my book which is listed for sale on Amazon.com. I used Lightning Source as my laser printer. The quality is excellent and cheaper than all others I have check into, but you have to do your own typesetting, book cover etc.

I have known David for many years. His writing talent expands in each of his pieces I have read. I know that his research and interviews with the family written about in "This House Divided" are thorough. The chapters that I have read would make an interesting movie plot.

This book is a "must read" for anyone who works with people in any way. It is a journey of someone with DID formerly called Multiple Personality. It is also just interesting for those who are intersted in psychology and people or just a good read. I recommended it to someone else and they had trouble with the download. I truly hope this book is published and available for sale at some point. I would probably buy copies for those I know working with these issues.
