Crazy Has A Name: A Novel

Tormented by voices and fractured childhood memories, Danny's adult life is a storm he can't outrun. As a cynical Christian, he lives with the secret of the others inside his head, convinced he is trapped in his diagnosis. Coming face-to-face with the foster system that harmed him, he fights to cling to his self-reliant logic and doubt-ridden faith. Will Danny open the darkest pieces of his past to the only one who can bring total freedom?

Part tough narrative, part tender prayer, Crazy Has A Name offers a gritty, moving look at one man's supernatural journey out of clinically diagnosed dissociative identity disorder and into complete mental and spiritual freedom. Inspired by true events.

Trigger warning: Contains descriptions of traumatic childhood abuse. Reader discretion advised.

Crazy has a name, and often that name is trauma. Readers who appreciate the education of Bessel van der Kolk's "The Body Keeps the Score" and the faith-building testimony of Joyce Smith's "Breakthrough: The Miraculous True Story" will find this book just as eye-opening and inspiring.

This book was a finalist in the 2024 American Christian Fiction Writers of Virginia "Crown Award" for outstanding unpublished Christian fiction.
