BOOK ONE: Alternatives to a Frozen Mouse
This wasn’t my life to begin with. It wasn’t my body either.
I inherited both, and more, from Mouse.Mouse created me. 
She had created another life when she was four so she knew how.
That’s what people with Dissociative Identity Disorder do.
 
You see, terrible things happened to Mouse when she was very young, so she decided to simply stop growing up when she was eight. Her body aged but she didn’t. At eleven, when something even more despicable happened, Mouse froze herself in time, leaving her life, body, and name to me. Mouse remains an afraid and damaged young girl, living in The Deep inside of us. But don’t worry, she isn’t alone.
 
My name is Jade and I am an alternate personality – the main personality but an alternate nonetheless. I live in this body with Mouse and the other alters: Peter, Neil, Jane, Zen, Nancy, Ray, and Lucy. For over twenty years there had been no more splitting, no one new. Then Anne came along, making alter number ten. 
 
This book is the first part of our journey integrating Anne into her new life. It was her idea to write about it and both our ideas to dedicate this book to Mouse … Our Frozen Mouse – the author of us all.
 
BOOK TWO: Parts, Pieces and Aspects of a Frozen Mouse
Mouse remains a damaged young girl, living in The Deep.
She created me (Jade), Peter, Neil, Jane, Zen, Nancy, Ray, Lucy, and Anne.
That’s what people with Dissociative Identity Disorder do.
 
Following on from the events of Book 1, Alternatives to a Frozen Mouse, this book is the second part of our journey integrating Anne into her new life. 
 
Anne needs to connect with the final four alters before she can carry out her plan. To remove the remaining barriers, we must work together to unearth Mouse’s early memories, which are fractured and hidden among the ‘us’. 
 
But when we are met face to face with more monsters wearing people suits, dark secrets are remembered, truths are brought back into the light, and forgotten nightmares are relived. Worst of all, we are shown how fallible we are. I guess that makes us human after all.
 
DID is not just our disorder and our reason for being separate, but also what allowed us to survive. Scattered and united, imperfectly perfect, just the way we are. But now we know how and why our DID developed, we are ready to carry out Anne’s plan for retribution.
 
This book is dedicated to our original personality, our Frozen Mouse – the author of us all.
