Twelve-year-old Dauna found herself sitting on a stool in the middle of a dilapidated barn. The cold metal of a gun was pressed against her temple. "You have a choice. Have sex with each man here. If you refuse...we will put this gun to your head and pull the trigger." Dauna did not know if she would survive this game of Russian roulette. Either way, she would lose. If the gun did not kill her, the repeated rapes by the men surrounding her could very well kill her spirit.
Imagine a world where your very first memories are of sexual abuse, where molestation and rape are a childhood norm, and where your own family members do not protect you, but instead are the source of your torment. For Dauna Cole, this nightmare was reality.
A Shattered Mind is her story of survival through horrific abuse and of her lifelong struggle to overcome the psychological and emotional aftermath. After being removed from her home by Child Services, Dauna thought her suffering was over, but it was just beginning as she worked to put the fractured memories of the past and the pieces of herself back together again.

My grandmother had DID and so did I, though not to the degree of the author. I know what it is to feel my mind shatter like a crystal goblet thrown against a brick wall. I know the horror of being caught in such Catch-22s as she was trapped in in that barn scene. I can say that her story is very real and she describes things well. Recovery is a lifelong challenge with DID and this author is to be commended in her efforts to do so. For all of us who have known such breakage within, books by authors showing the way out are always encouraging.Product details

A Shattered Mind One Woman Story of Survival and Healing (Audible Audio Edition) Dauna Cole Shawna Windom Tate Publishing Books Reviews
This woman's story is heart wrenching with a happy ending. Had to stop a few times and wasn't sure if I could read on. It is only 150 pages or so and includes pictures.
I read s"look inside"I was crying so hard that I had to read the whole thing on kindle.A shattered mind is exactly what I have.I do not consider the Dissociative identity disorder a mental disorder in fact, I know with truth that it is accually demons.I give this book a three star because I do not love this book or the stories that she went thru.Its very heart breaking and touchy.I am happy to hear that she found god thru all of it.This book is great to share with others who also have Dissociative identity disorder and understand you or we are not alone.
I found this book to be quite helpful in gaining a better understanding of one of the most fascinating mental illnesses there are. It felt realistic and quite personal. I thought it was well written and I enjoyed it.
Was not helpful at all.
Reads easy and enjoyable. Looking for a best practices with DID reasonably priced. I enjoyed reading this book though but sometimes scenes were confusing
Like some other autobiographies written by people with DID that I've read, this one didn't seem to be written too well but it was still pretty informative. With every book about DID that I read, I learn something new about it. I like that she had her daughters write something at the end of this one, to give a new perspective on it. It's pretty short; it only took me a couple days to finish. She also has pictures of herself in the middle of the book, which I thought was very brave. I would recommend this to anyone who's interested in learning more about DID.
I bought the book at 830 last night and finished it this morning at 830. It was quite the read. I had to stop a few times to absorb what I was reading and due to errors in continuity. I did go to sleep about 1215 am and woke up early. I resumed reading at about 630. It was hard to put down and I enjoyed it for the most part. I think there are some pages or paragraphs missing from the kindle edition. It was frustrating at times because the errors made it hard to keep up the flow of continuity. Otherwise, it really is an inspiring and uplifting story. I feel good inside after reading it since I'm going through my own healing journey. I also think considering the errors, its a bit over priced. I have hundreds of kindle books and I rarely pay as much for them but I made an exception. I hope the author or someone will go through it and fix the problems.
