This is a fantastic and fascinating true story,
By
This review is from: Me Other The (Paperback)
Me Other The is the true story of a woman who wanted only to make a difference in a young persons life. So she adopts a little girl who had been severely abused and neglected named "Tiffany". How could she know the problems that would arise from this adoption or of the after effects of the abuse? This book is a testimony to why child abuse is so wrong. As the author states in one of the first chapters in the book,do we really know what goes on in the mind of an abused child? It is also an affirmation of survival and the strength and courage of the human heart. Goetz stays with "Tiffany" and tries to find her help despite her behavior problems and she continues to love and care for the child when it would have been easier to just return her to foster care. This book gives you a glimpse of the relationship between the two, the problems with trying to work with the systems that exist and the disbelief these systems have of the diagnosis of "Dissociative Identity Disorder". Through it all the bond between the two and Goetz' determination see them through in a long and rough journey to find help for a child who had been through a kind of hell no child deserves to go through. I highly recommend this book to anyone concerned with children and those who are interested in Dissociative Identity Disorder( formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder).
