Hmph. I'm impressed that everyone so far actually read the thing before panning it. I have to admit, the tagline was quite enough for me. The combination of the term "alters," the trauma origin, and the implication that multiplicity and healthy adulthood are mutually exclusive was enough to tell me I didn't want to read it. But now I probably will, if only because I'm guilted by the example.

The bit about "in a favorable light" is particularly amusing. I suppose it meant the story was supposed to evoke pity for the poor victims.
