A clear and moving record of one woman's healing from cult and ritual abuse, Spirit Alive shares the process of healing through understanding of integration, demystifies the meaning of classical Multiple Personality Disorder, and counteracts mainstream sensationalizing of cult and ritual abuse. Releasing the pain and fear locked inside for years and learning to trust her ability to heal, Jadelinn remembers, copes, accepts, denies, rages, learns, feels, challenges, mourns. She reaches beyond survival, beyond a crowded internal passion of many voices. Through courage, honesty, and trust, she finds joy and compassion, and she declares her spirit alive.
Spirit Alive is a much needed resource for survivors of cult and ritual abuse, for their children, relations, and friends, for therapists and other social workers, and for general readers.

Jadelinn endured years of ritual abuse as a child raised in a cult. She has written this book with the hope of helping others in a similar situation and to increase awareness of cults in the rest of society.

"Spirit Alive is true to its title. In telling the story of her recovery, Jadelinn has provided a courageously honest exploration of her day-to-day journey. This book is alive with the spirit of resilience and ingenuity that enabled her to survive and resist the evil of her past… the same spirit that inspires her creative search for healing."— “Caryn Stardancer, Founder and Executive Director of Survivorship: An International Forum on Survival of Ritualistic Abuse, Torture and Mind Control
