Description

"Quilted" is the story of Suritaplus, a multi-faceted woman who, at the age of 17, left home for a college 600 miles away. She looked forward to a life unburdened by her father's invasive hands, threatening language, and the weight of his body against hers. It is a story of her healing from the lasting, hidden damage caused by a childhood filled with trauma. "Quilted" chronicles the author's journey from first hearing the words Dissociative Identity Disorder to the discovery, acceptance, and ultimate embrace of her internal system of personality parts. This book explores the question, "who is Suritaplus" and finds answers in the story revealed through her journals, artwork, and therapist's notes. "Quilted" is a story of anger, denial, grief, courage, hope, compassion, and joy.
