Oprah has never forgotten her interview with Truddi Chase 11 years ago. Raped by her stepfather at the age of two and continually brutalized until she was 16 years old, Truddi dealt with her pain by splitting into 92 different personalities. She calls them her troops.

Oprah: So, your very first recollection—and I'm saying it just to get to the story—of sexual intercourse was when?
Truddi Chase: Two, in a field of tall grass, tall grass. It's springtime, the ground is still wet, and the grass is over your head. I don't have all of it; the others have parts of it.
Oprah: The other personalities?
Truddi Chase: Yeah, which is why multiplicity comes into place in the first place.
