I was really disappointed in Hershels book that I went back, to return it, couldn\u2019t, and bought Switching Time anyway. I felt Herschel wasn\u2019t a DID suffer. I wanted truth about this illness. But, your story, now this is a story to remember! I would like to tell all readers to buy Switching Time for a true story and not waste their time on other books of nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<br \/>\nJ<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dear J,<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for buying our book and believing in our true story.  Dr. Baer and I worked very hard to share this truth.<\/p>\n<p>I read Herschel Walker\u2019s book, too, and felt it was more of a football story. But who am I to judge? It&#8217;s Herschel\u2019s story and he wrote about what he experienced during his childhood.  I wrote what I had experienced in mine.  I can&#8217;t say he wasn&#8217;t a multiple, but in order to be a multiple, you have to have dissociative episodes.  It\u2019s a dissociative disorder, right?  I don\u2019t think he described that kind of experience.  I never met Herschel but I would be interested in sitting down with him and sharing our experiences.  It&#8217;s obvious Herschel felt hurt.  I developed multiplicity from horrific abuse, but I didn&#8217;t see any of that as I read Herschel&#8217;s book.  But I suppose no two cases are alike.  We both felt hurt and both chose to write about it in order to help others.  I wish Herschel well.<\/p>\n<p>All my best,<\/p>\n<p>Karen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by J on September 15, 2008 4:57 pm Dear K, I chose Hershel Walkers book over yours, while looking for a good book to read on DID.
