Overview

"Many people have secrets they are fearful to share with those who love them. Christine Pattillo was one of those people, except instead of just one secret, she had many. As long as Christine can remember, she has lived with multiple personality disorder (MPD) or dissociative identity disorder (DID). But for most of her life, she kept this secret hidden from everyone around her, including her husband. It wasn't until the age of 41, after 15 years of marriage and 10 years of counseling, that she finally managed to utter the seven most difficult words of her life: ""There is more than one of me."" In her fascinating memoir, I Am WE: My Life with Multiple Personalities, Christine Pattillo shares her incredible journey of life with MPD. Readers will come to know Christine's alternate personalities (Hope, SHE, Rim, Tristan, Q, Chrissy, and Cyndi) as the unique and extraordinary individuals they are. Along with Christine and the Gang, Christine's husband, family, friends, and therapist relate the joys and difficulties of one family's life with MPD. I Am WE dispels many common, often misguided conceptions about MPD. While many theories about the condition abound, none are more qualified to discuss it than those living it. Join Christine and her family as they share their highs and lows, triumphs and losses, and above all the love they have for one another."

Christine Pattillo and 'the gang' (as she calls them) are an extraordinary bunch. I've had the pleasure of featuring Christine in a story for KING 5 News and find her a kind, fascinating, and sincere advocate for the rights and inclusion of people with mental illness. -Eric Wilkinson, reporter, King 5 News, Seattle, Washington Christine, her husband Christopher, and the Gang (as she refers to her alternate personalities) share an anguishing and harrowing true story of a woman's strength to overcome challenges beyond her control and to create a loving and inspiring family, living openly with multiple personalities. This family's hard work through counseling, writing, coaching, and speaking over the last twenty years has paid off. The Pattillos are amazing. -Carolyn Eslick, Washington State Representative
