In this “spellbinding” bestseller that inspired the electrifying Emmy-award winning TV movie starring Sally Fields, a journalist chronicles the first ever case of multiple personalities to be psychoanalyzed (Time Magazine).

You’re about to meet Sybil–and the sixteen selves to whom she played host, both women and men, each with a different personality, speech pattern, and personal appearance. You’ll experience the strangeness and fascination of one woman’s rare affliction, and travel with her on her long, ultimately triumphant journey back to wholeness. 

More amazing than any work of fiction, Sybil is one woman’s story of survival you won’t soon forget.
