_/Book Synopsis

/_

"I'm Sybil." Thus, Shirley Mason shared her secret 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, /After Sybil/ is a revealing glimpse into the daily life of the 
woman whose sixteen personalities were merged into the one Nancy knew 
and loved.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.
