Truddi Chase

Truddi Chase was an American author best known for her harrowing and groundbreaking autobiography When Rabbit Howls (1987), a vivid account of her life with dissociative identity disorder (DID), formerly known as multiple personality disorder.

Born near Honeoye Falls, New York, Chase endured a traumatic upbringing, which she later described in her writings and interviews. She reported enduring ongoing sexual and physical abuse at the hands of her stepfather and neglect from her mother starting at the age of two. Th

Molly Wizenberg

I started out as a food writer focused on home cooking, using food as a lens for peering into everyday life and relationships. I was interested in people, in how we find and make meaning for ourselves. I still am. My latest book, The Fixed Stars, is a memoir about sexuality, divorce, and motherhood. I wrote it because, in my mid-thirties, nearly a decade into marriage and newly a mother, I lost track of who I was. I wrote because I wanted an answer; in the process, I came to find that I liked the company of questions. The Fixed Stars will be published by Abrams Press on May 12, 2020.

I am also the author of A Homemade Life (Simon & Schuster, 2009) and Delancey (Simon & Schuster, 2014). Both were New York Times bestsellers. Before all that, I
