Billy Milligan was a man tormented by twenty-four distinct personalities battling for supremacy over his body—a battle that culminated when he awoke in jail, arrested for the kidnap and rape of three women. In a landmark trial, Billy was acquitted of his crimes by reason of insanity caused by multiple personality—the first such court decision in history—bringing to public light the most remarkable and harrowing case of multiple personality ever recorded. Twenty-four people live inside Billy Milligan. Philip, a petty criminal; Kevin, who dealt drugs and masterminded a drugstore robbery; April, whose only ambition was to kill Billy''s stepfather; Adalana, the shy, lonely, affection-starved lesbian who “used” Billy''s body in the rapes that led to his arrest; David, the eight-year-old “keeper of pain”; and all of the others, including men, women, several children, both boys and girls, and the Teacher, the only one who can put them all together. You will meet each in this often shocking true story. And you will be drawn deeply into the mind of this tortured young man and his splintered, terrifying world.

"Daniel Keyes provou-se dono de uma sensibilidade acurada à dor de um indivíduo machucado e confuso." — Walter Tevis, autor de O gambito da rainha Desempregada, divorciada e sozinha em Nova York, Sally Porter está sempre questionando a própria vida. São frequentes as vezes em que acorda no meio de uma enrascada depois de sentir uma forte dor de cabeça e de apagar, sem se lembrar do que a levou àquela situação. Quando Sally decide buscar uma solução para esses episódios, o psiquiatra dr. Roger Ash lhe revela o inesperado: outras identidades completamente diferentes entre si habitam dentro da jovem. Assim, ela embarca em uma longa jornada de descobrimento e aceitação, tratamento e integração. Daniel Keyes mostra outra vez por que é um dos mais capacitados escritores ao retratar e desvelar as profundezas da psicologia humana. Nesta história de ficção baseada em casos reais, o autor do celebrado Flores para Algernon e de As vidas de Billy Milligan faz de Sally Cinco uma combinação brilhante dos dois livros. "Mas é isso que significa ser uma pessoa por inteiro. não é só risada e bons momentos. são emoções conflitantes, responsabilidades e sentimentos profundos, altos e baixos."
