    "description": "<p>From the author of million-copy bestseller, Flowers for Algernon, the shocking true story of a troubled young man and his splintered, terrifying world.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Billy Milligan was a man tormented by twenty-four distinct personalities battling for supremacy&mdash;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 disorder&mdash;the first such court decision in history.</p>\n<p>Among the twenty-four are: Philip, a petty criminal; Kevin, who dealt drugs; April, whose only ambition was to kill Billy's stepfather; Adalana, the shy, affection-starved lesbian who 'used' Billy's body in the rapes that led to his arrest; David, the eight-year-old 'keeper of the pain'; and the Teacher, the sum of all Billy's alter egos fused into one.</p>\n<p>In <em>The Minds of Billy Milligan</em>, Daniel Keyes brings to light the most remarkable and harrowing case of multiple personality ever recorded.</p>",
