Even after the book and the film The Three Faces of Eve broke records in the late 1950s, the identity of ``Eve'' was kept secret and little was known about multiple personality disorder (MPD). Subsequent publications, The Final Face of Eve and I'm Eve --both written by Sizemore in collaboration with professionals--told more of the story Sizemore augments here. Retracing her life from birth in 1927 in Virginia, the author makes one understand the ``persons'' who took turns submerging her until she ultimately mastered the intruders, asserting ``the mind of my own.'' Sizemore gives credit to the therapists who helped, but none more than her husband and children, described here as miracles of ``devotion, commitment,'' which readers will agree may be an understatement. The author has been publicly active on behalf of the mentally/emotionally ill since her recovery in 1977.
