Sky Eyes

2009 Non-Fiction Book of the Year

A true tale of Dissociative Identity Disorder (a form of multiple personality disorder).

Stacy Bewick is lost. Lost inside her head. Born to parents who abused her body, mind and soul, Stacy learned to survive through psychic connections to angelic spirit guides and by creating inner personalities.

By the time Stacy was two, the personality called "Marla" knew how to find food in the paper garbage sack in the kitchen. When she was four, the personality called "George" knew how to be strong enough to block the pain from Mommy's forsythia whips and Daddy's leather belt.

Stacy didn't grow up in a remote village or primitive culture. Stacy grew up in a small town in New Jersey in the 1960s.

Sky Eyes is a personal journey into dissociative identity disorder. Though based on a true story, names, dates and identifying information have been changed. One of the main visible symptoms of DID is the lack of a single stable personality. Like post-traumatic stress disorder, DID is created as a result of trauma and extreme, prolonged abuse.
Stories like Sybil and The Three faces of Eve help readers connect with adults who suffer from DID. Sky Eyes is unique in that it describes each of her multiple personalities as it develops in a child. Step into Stacy's world and discover what happens when society ignores abuse.
