<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Norma and Celia Forte's mother was a beautiful woman with stunning blue eyes, intellectual curiosity, and artistic talents, but she was broken, often bruised, and sometimes a monster. She wore many faces. In Beauty in Disrepair, authors and sisters Norma and Celia Forte narrate their memories of a tumultuous childhood, offering perspectives on living with a parent suffering with Dissociative Identity Disorder, formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder. <p/> Through a collection of vignettes and poetry, this memoir provides a visceral account of the residual effects of being raised primarily by a parent who was undiagnosed until their adulthood. The Forte sisters tell how working through these memories was a painful, but ultimately rewarding journey. The process of healing is life long, and they are finally making peace with their lost childhood as adult survivors. <p/> Beauty in Disrepair reflects on the girls' childhood as survivors of direct abuse and the residual effects of DID as their mother battled at least twenty-two alter identities. Norma and Celia openly share their story to offer peace to others facing the same experiences and provide a hopeful future for those who have yet to find the beauty they seek, that is in disrepair.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Norma Forte is a writer, a painter, and a survivor. She creates poetry, nonfiction, and artwork that reflects her creativity and love of nature. <p/> Celia Forte creates poetry, fiction, and music, and is a survivor.
