Marital and parental responsibilities can be enough of a challenge for two working adults. Add in one spouse who has intensifying bouts of amnesia and you have a recipe for disaster. But disaster is not an option for Annora. She grew up in an orphanage and so the preservation of her precious family was her number one commitment. But that commitment was threatened when, during marital counseling, Annoras therapist began to recognize even more unusual and abnormal behaviors in her.


Annora was subsequently diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder, also known as Multiple Personality Disorder. But that wouldnt stop Annora from declaring her sanity to her husband and begging him to fi nd them a new therapist.


We Are Annora is a story about the human will to survive amidst the darkness which lies deep within despondency and a powerful mental disorder.

In my opinion this is one of the better stories about dissociative identity disorder. It's not sensational like other stories and more realistic.

Liked the direction taken, to experience her confusion and then go on the journey with her. Also appreciated that the horrible child abuse was not written in an overly graphic way or repeatedly thrown at the reader. And "Annora" and her battle for her time and inner peace show what an amazingly strong woman she was and is.
