Big Marcia H is but one of three personalities residing in the author . Here is a poem she composed:

I'm ambling in the darkness
And screaming in the night
I'll claw my way through it
But find no relief in sight

My world is one of madness
Of misery and pain
Of bitterness and sadness
Of one who has gone insane

Can anybody love me?
Can anybody care?
Shall I reach through this madness
And see if anybody will dare?

5.0 out of 5 stars My comments as a psychologist, October 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Marcia H (Paperback)

As a busy psychologist, it is an unfortunate fact that I rarely have time to read books such as the one Ms. Heibner has written. However, a co worker had read it and mentioned it to me, and I felt compelled to read it myself. I found it considerably interesting in that it was not the typical DID (Mpd) book that is usually out there. While most DID books tend to refelct upon the reasons the DID developed, Ms. Heibner's book gave me a useful and tearing account of life while battling with a troubled personality. I commend this woman for having the courage to open her troubled world to the public. I found it very useful. Books such as this one are needed to help we in the psychological field understand and help treat this complex disorder more effectively.

4.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me understand a friend, July 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Marcia H (Paperback)

I have a friend with MPD and I happened to hear about Big Marcia H so I picked up a copy. It was not a big book so I didn't expect too much, but I took a chance and I was glad I did. I'm not a man who often cries, but that inner battle between those two characters reduced me to tears. Best of all it helped me understand one of my friends alot better. She also has MPD and now I understand her inner turmoil much better. I wish the author and her alter success and happiness.

4.0 out of 5 stars Too short but very educational, February 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Marcia H (Paperback)

Although I felt this book was entirely too short because it left me wanting to know what happened further to the author and her personality, I did find it very educational about how life is so complex when a person suffers from mental illness. These are the type of books that help alleviate prejudices and fears. We need more of these books by authors who are willing to step forward.
