                     Synopsis
                     To escape the horror of violent abuse, the two-year-old child "went to
                     sleep" and created the inner world of "the Troops," the 92 voices that
                     shielded her from pain, but that she didn't know existed until adulthood.
                     This is a journey through the fragmented world of the multiple
                     personality--told by the Troop.

                     I feel like I have found a best friend - my only one ever.
                     After flailing about in a sea of self-destruction, dissociation and broken
                     promises, I finally understand why. 'When Rabbit Howls' is a magnificent
                     account of the most nerve-racking condition in the world, and the most
                     ingenious - multiple personality. For the woman known as Truddi Chase
                     to survive the horrific abuse of her childhood, and for her to have given us
                     this account, is nothing short of a blessing from God. We understood
                     every word of this book and will cherish it forever. We finally feel as
                     though we belong in the world. The Troops have transformed our lives
                     with their compassion, friendship, understanding and resourcefulness. We
                     HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who has endured abuse at the
                     hands of those with greater power - for whatever reason. After reading
                     this book, you will understand that "multiple personality" is not a disorder
                     - it is the best we can do!

                     You want an insight into Hell? How about 92+ of them?
                     My mother gave me this book to read when it first was published in 1987
                     when I was 11 years old. It was incredibly hard for me to fathom, but I
                     read it time and time again because I could feel the intensity of the story
                     beyond the words I could not yet comprehend. Now at 22 years old, I
                     have read this book at least 10+ times...and now that I understand it it
                     never fails to make me angry.

                     This woman suffered more hell than anyone in this lifetime ever should
                     have to...except for perhaps the man that created that hell. As a
                     survivor...(though not to nearly her degree), I could not help but feel
                     murderous rage towards this hellspawn of a man that created her worlds
                     with his wicked hands. It's a graphic story, not forthe faint hearted or the
                     weak spirited...it will put you in perspective in all ways, from the naivete
                     of the child to the awful mature memories ...you will see it through her
                     eyes; you will be there with her as she relives it.

                     I thank my mother for giving me this book to read; it was of more help
                     than a thousand therapy sessions. It's a harrowing, shattered, painful story
                     of triumph over what seems to be insurmountable odds; this woman has
                     been an idol of mine for years, her and the Troops, and one day it would
                     be a great pleasure to make her aquaintance just to smile at her and say,
                     "You won."

                     ANY 1 WHO LIKES TO READ ABOUT MPD SHOULD READ
                     THIS BOOK
                     THIS IS A VERY GOOD BOOK I FIND IT UTTERLY
                     FASINATING I FIRST SAW THE MOVIE THAT IS HOW I
                     FOUND THE BOOK THIS IS A VERY DETAILED BOOK
                     TELLING EVERYTHING TRUDDI AND THE TROOPS ENDURED
                     IT IS FASCINATING THAT THE ACTUAL TRUDDI CHASE
                     WENT TO SLEEP AT TWO YEARS OLD.

                     heartbreaking yet truthful......
                     I know and I believe her story because I know her pain as well, as far as
                     the abuse goes. For some reason though I didn't "split up" the way she
                     did. It's so hard to understand. I sometimes wonder if that was a blessing
                     or a hinderance on my part. I admire the woman, her strength and her
                     courage. God Bless her over and over again and especially the "child"
                     who sleeps. May she never have to awaken and face the horror. God
                     Bless The Troops for being there.

                     Eye-opening account of MPD--let's me uderstand the voices.
                     The voices are real; Truddi Chase is real; other MPD's are real. Perhaps
                     through this telling they may be believed.

                     excellent
                     I found the case of Trudi Chase to be one of the most paniful, yet
                     interesting cases of MP that ever came to be known. Her generation of
                     "the troops" was something that many of us feel all the time, only amplified
                     millions of over. Not for the faint of heart though, it's very intense

                     Personally, the most moving book I have ever read on MPD.
                     I saw Truddi on The Oprah Winfrey Show some years ago and was truly
                     moved by her courage to confront the demons. I bought and read her
                     book a short time later and was shocked at the horrific abuse this little girl
                     suffered. Her father was a really sick man. (I wonder if he ever was
                     punished or at least, if he ever sought treatment.) As I hear about stories
                     of sexual and physical abuse of young children in our society, I can't help
                     but wonder how many psychologically impaired and maimed children will
                     grow up to be abusers as well. I wish Truddi good luck in her continued
                     efforts.

                     The Troops bring you into their world of hate, terror, and abuse. They
                     bring their own feelings to you, until you can feel their terror and
                     sympathize with their hate. This book is candid and, at times, disturbing.
                     Their honesty is very evident and I highly recommend this book if you are
                     interested in learning about MPD.
