Fifth Sally

Daniel Keyes, a longtime student of psychopathology, spent countless hours in psychiatric hospitals with specialists working with patients suffering from rare disorders. The result was his novels, which meticulously explore the most fragile, most unpredictable, and most fascinating mechanism—the human psyche.
"The Fifth Sally," written two years before the celebrated "The Mysterious Case of Billy Milligan," tells the story of Sally Porter, a waitress at a New York restaurant. At first glance, she is an ordinary, unremarkable woman.
But unknown to Sally, four other women are hiding within her. Nola, a cold, intellectual artist; Derry, a cheerful daredevil; Bella, a sexually obsessed failed actress and singer; and finally, Jinx, a potential killer, filled with anger and hatred. Whenever she finds herself in a difficult situation, Sally Porter experiences a severe headache and faints. That's when one of her alters appears. If a handsome man appears, Bella flutters onto the scene. If a problem requiring intellectual effort needs to be solved, Nola takes up the matter. And if a rapist needs to be confronted, the merciless Jinx inevitably intervenes.
Psychiatrist Roger Ash faces a difficult task: to create a "fifth Sally" by fusing four different personalities.
