identity with Nancy Preston, former student. That disclosure
cemented an enduring twenty-eight year friendship between the
two via phone calls, visits, and letters. From Shirley’s first
letter to her last phone call to Nancy, <i
style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">After Sybil</i> is a
revealing glimpse into the daily life of the woman whose
sixteen personalities were merged into the one Nancy knew and
loved.<span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>Letters,
photos, and quotes offer insight to Shirley’s view of her
parents, her therapist, and the bestselling book and
subsequent movies about her. Interspersed are examples of
Shirley’s art, including a self portrait. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
