Sneak Peek: Which One Am I?

Which One Am I Today, we feature a sneak peek of the memoir, Which One Am I?, by Thomas Smith and James Darrell Williams.

There are at least 16 personalities inside James Darrell Williams. But who is he really? And why? Which One Am I? is a singular story about universal truths, horrors and grace. Setting their work apart from other memoirs, the authors explore the nature of family and how Darrell – and all of us — are shaped by culture, history and geography. Darrell and his partner Thomas Smith dug into family secrets, Southern culture and Darrell’s own psyche to explore portrayals of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) in culture and psychiatry, linking them with the events that made Darrell the man he is.

Which One Am I? is available through Amazon.com and Amazon UK for kindle and in print.
