Jessica had always been haunted by the fear that the unthinkable had happened when she had been 'made-up". She had no sense of Self. Just thinking of saying 'I need" or 'I want" left her feeling like an empty shell and that her mind was about to spin out of control. Terrified of who-or what-she was, she lived in constant dread over being found guilty of impersonating a human being. Jeffrey Von Glahn, Ph.D., an experienced therapist with an unshakable belief in the intrinsic healing powers of the human psyche, and Jessica, his courageous client, blaze a trail into this unexplored territory. As if she has, in fact, become an infant again, Jessica remembers in extraordinary detail events from the earliest days of her life-events that had threatened to twist her embryonic humanness from its natural course of development. Her recollections as an adult are the equivalent of listening to an infant who could talk describe every psychologically dramatic moment of its life as it is happening. Jessica's electrifying journey into her mystifying past brings her ever closer to a final confrontation with the traumatic events that had threatened to strip her of her basic humanness.
