NOTE TO READERS - This is a short story so the "First Chapter" is identical to the "Full Book" - Nick http://www.bookhabit.com/book_details.php?book_id=217 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. http://www.bookhabit.com/book_details.php?book_id=165
