Book excerpt: Raised in a family of church goers, Alice Fisher has the potential for a promising future. However, her father leads a secret life as a cult leader who practices satanic rituals. She suffers verbal, physical, emotional, and sexual abuse as a child. Groomed by her father for greater horrors, she's drugged and forced to participate in his ritualistic ceremonies. Outwardly, Alice appears to lead a normal life. But the truth torments, and weighs heavy upon her. Eventually, her mind shatters; crushed into splinters of insanity and madness. A crucible of darkness surrounds her like a blinding fog and seeks to overwhelm her.Yet a faith thread tied to her heart in early childhood becomes her lifeline in adulthood.What helps her cope through multiple suicide attempts, self-injury, psychiatric hospital stays, and years of therapy? How does she put the pieces of her life back together as whole, healed, and joyful? Here, drawn from a lifetime of journals and personal records, she tells her story to offer hope to anyone that has known the destructive impact of childhood trauma, Satanic Ritual Abuse, and Dissociative Identity Disorder.
