Suffer the Child by Judith Spencer

Based on the chilling real-life case of “Jenny,” this book dives into dissociative identity disorder with harrowing honesty. Through therapy transcripts and eyewitness accounts, Judith Spencer explores a childhood ravaged by ritual abuse — and the astonishing emergence of multiple personalities formed to survive it. The story shifts between gentle alters, violent protectors, and a core self struggling for control. A shocking midpoint revelation exposes a hidden alter who remembers everything — turning the narrative into a psychological battlefield. This is trauma literature at its rawest.
