Picture
"When Rabbit Howls" is an autobiography written by the ninety-two personalities of Tuddie Chase as the a result of the incest she suffered at the hands of her stepfather.  The abuse began as early as two years of age and continued into her teens.  Her mother did nothing to stop the abuse and also verbally and physically abused Truddi.  "Rabbit" is one of the personalities and was named  as a result of her step-father stepping on baby rabbits just to hear them cry.  The experiences related in this book are troubling as Truddie known as "The Woman" by her many personalities share the horrible tortures she experienced such as being strapped to a chair, hung upside down by a rope and every other sexual act inconceivable.

This book is written graphically and is often difficult to follow as the personalities are having conversation and experiences with each other such as getting drunk.  It also provokes a host of unwelcome and uncomfortable emotional responses for the reader as the personalities "strip" Truddie of her memories so she really doesn't know who she is.

For those who are interested in learning more about multiple personality disorders and can manage the emotional responses this book provokes, it is a definite read.  This is not a book recommended for the casual or younger reader.
