Plot Summary of Fragments
""Dissociative Identity Disorder." This diagnostic term begins an odyssey of terror and discovery for Corrie Austin, a young woman who finds a way to live through a nightmarish childhood by fragmenting, her psyche creating multiple personalities to handle an unbearable world. Aided by her psychologist and several alter personalities, Corrie discovers one of her personalities has the ability to remote view, precognitively, which leads her in a downward spiral of danger, deceit and madness as a ruthless government agent seeks to exploit her unusual ability to see into the future.
