The Many Sides of Me: One woman's journey
As a young girl, Anna Cannard survived horrifying experiences, including being drowned, suffering a burst eardrum from a blunt force trauma, being held hostage at gunpoint, and enduring beatings and abuse of every kind from her father. "The Many Sides of Me" is more than just a memoir; it's a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
From a childhood marked by profound physical and emotional abuse, neglect, and the chaos of her father's mental illness, Anna lived with a secret inner world to cope. Battling feelings of being unloved and unwanted, she developed "multiple realities" to survive a difficult existence, a struggle later identified as Dissociative Identity Disorder. This deeply personal account reveals the fierce war waged within as she navigated a world she perceived through the lens of trauma.
But Anna's story is a testament to resilience and the journey towards healing. Follow her inspiring path as she channels her pain into purpose. She transformed her own suffering into a force for good.
Anna became a passionate advocate, helping child abuse victims as a social worker.
She traveled the world as a missionary, helping to feed, clothe, and love those in greatest need.
She co-led awareness campaigns for missing children that helped find missing persons and brought justice to others.
Discover the incredible true story of Anna Cannard's journey from childhood trauma to inspiring advocacy. Experience her courageous journey through therapy, confronting the truth of her past, and ultimately finding wholeness, self-acceptance, and love.
Anna's story is a testament that even after deep hurt, it is possible to find purpose and help others. This raw and honest account explores themes of trauma, dissociation, and the long road to healing, culminating in a powerful message of self-acceptance and the transformative power of love. Prepare to be moved by Anna's resilience and inspired by her journey towards becoming whole.
Read her memoir to be inspired by a life dedicated to showing love and making a difference.
