Description

Meet Lola Murray-and the seven other personalities who live in her head… A patient at the Rosewood Hospital for Mental Wellness, Lola struggles to cope with Dissociative Identity Disorder-or as she calls the many egos, alters. Their names are Maria, Tim, Clare, Zoe, Frog, Rabbit, and Samantha-all ranging in age, gender, and with wildly different personalities. But with five women and two men battling to live their lives through Lola, it’s only a matter of time before someone wins… Therapy sessions threaten the survival of the group… With the help of Lola’s therapist, she’s able to better understand the many personalities living in her head. They are like life-long friends, and their presence is all Lola has ever known. Without them, she’d be in this big world all by herself, and that is even more paralyzing than the alternative her doctor has suggested-merge all seven personalities into one, dominant Lola. Fifty-one years is long enough… With release from the hospital coming up fast, Lola’s alters scramble to prevent being erased. But after fifty-one years of hosting their lives while struggling for her own-when will it be her turn to live? Lola has to consider life outside of the institution. Friends, a job, and maybe even romance-how will she function with so many people making choices for her? As her first act of independence, Lola must decide. Will she live the rest of her life as herself, or as Lola, party of eight?
