“Listen for the Lie” (post 2) by Amy Tintera: Protagonist has both Dissociative (Psychogenic) Amnesia and Dissociative Identity (Multiple Personality)

Lucy has had dissociative (psychogenic) amnesia for the circumstances of her best friend’s death. Memory gaps are a major symptom of multiple personality. The protagonist also has a voice in her head that has a mind of its own, which is the essence of alternate personalities.

And the fact that Amy Tintera made Lucy a published author (1, p. 247) suggests that she identified with her protagonist, and, thus, may have the higher-functioning version of multiple personality, multiple personality trait, a creative asset.
