In 1989, Robert B. Oxnam, the successful China scholar and president of the Asia Society, faced up to what he thought was his biggest personal challenge: alcoholism. But this dependency masked a problem far more serious: Multiple Personality Disorder. At the peak of his professional career, after having led the Asia Society for nearly a decade, Oxnam was haunted by periodic blackouts and episodic rages. After his family and friends intervened, Oxnam received help from a psychiatrist, Dr. Jeffrey Smith, and entered a rehab center. It wasn't until 1990 during a session with Dr. Smith that the first of Oxnam's eleven alternate personalities--an angry young boy named Tommy--suddenly emerged. With Dr. Smith's help, Oxnam began the exhausting and fascinating process of uncovering his many personalities and the childhood trauma that caused his condition. This is the powerful and moving story of one person's struggle with this terrifying illness. The book includes an epilogue by Dr. Smith in which he describes Robert's case, the treatment, and the nature of multiple personality disorder. Robert's courage in facing his situation and overcoming his painful past makes for a dramatic and inspiring book.

Mason Vance is the guy everybody wants to be, and he knows it. He's the best high school quarterback in New York, a shoo-in for a football scholarship at any school he chooses, and he's expected to land in the NFL one day. That is, until a broken wrist leaves him fearing whether he'll ever play again. Desperate to save his damaged ego, Mason sets his sights on Lace. No cheerleader or homecoming queen like his usual type, she's too wrapped in her own misery to fall for his pickup lines. Even though she tries to shut him out, she's surprised to find he's there for her when no one else is. Slowly, she lets him into the sad workings of her mind and less-than-perfect life, and Mason finds himself caring about Lace more than he'd ever thought possible. That's why neither of them sees his huge mistake coming-one that instantly fractures everything between them. Will Mason confront the ugliest side of himself, and in the process see who he's capable of becoming, or will he fall back into the life he knew before Lace and his injury? For contemporary young adult fiction fans comes a bold debut that is raw, relatable, and real. Fractured is a moving tribute to the fragility of human nature and its ability to destroy even the most powerful connections.
