And the Angel Rocked Me: A Memoir of a Multiple Personality
A sadistic brother
An abusive mother
A psychopathic husband
No one heard her cries. From broken bones to murdered pets to violated innocence, Casey Jones endured countless atrocities as a child. Trapped in a world of unbearable cruelty, her mind shattered into alternate personalities, and she escaped into the arms of an angel. At age 20, she fled her torture chamber and found the strength to forge her way in the world, thriving as a flight attendant who entertained passengers with her in-flight songs and antics.
But later, a calculating predator impersonating a medical doctor pulled her into his snare. This smooth talking, charismatic psychopath thought he had everything under control. When she accidentally discovered his criminal background, she realized that the man she had married was pure evil. A cowardly predator determined to steal from Christian women. She had survived a childhood filled with demonic humans, only to marry one. While signing the divorce papers, she whispered in his ear “Think of me as your last victim”. This time she fought back…
Heart wrenching, hopeful and filled with humor, And the Angel Rocked Me gives a glimpse into childhood trauma and the breakthroughs that are possible for those who endure. This touching memoir includes insights for anyone who is in a relationship with a psychopath.

A Survivor's Story Well Worth Reading
Casey Jones is a survivor. And the Angel Rocked Me is ultimately a story of redemption and the author's ultimate triumph over her abusers. While the book is riveting and very well written, it was a difficult read for me because I was once very closely associated with Casey's family. I knew them all quite well and spent a great deal of time with all of them. I can confirm that Casey's depictions of her parents and siblings are completely accurate. I became involved with the Jones family during the years Casey was working as a flight attendant and didn't know her as well as I knew the rest of the family. However, having suffered my own abuse at the hands of her family members, every detail of her story rings true. Her story actually answered questions I'd had for decades and gave me the missing puzzle pieces to my own story with this family. I am grateful to Casey for being brave enough to write this book. I believe she survived so that she could tell her story and present her message of hope and triumph to victims of abuse and con artists everywhere. If you are a victim yourself or know someone who is, please read And the Angel Rocked Me. You will gain an understanding of the cycle and psychology of abuse from the perspective of the abused, the abuser, and those who protect abusers by looking the other way. This is a beautiful yet painful memoir of a childhood no one should ever have to experience and the woman who worked so hard to overcome her past by confronting that past head on, which in the end, is truly the only way to overcome a history of abuse.
God's Love Keep On Giving
Have you ever wondered what becomes of childhood victims of the horrific abuses that plague our "civilized" society? Instead of recounting over and over the atrocities and staying stuck in a prison of perpetual blame and helplessness, one brave woman decidedly took the hard road less traveled and gratefully received God's penetrating love to become well. And not only well, but began a mission to lead others in similar circumstances, out of lives permeated with denial and silence. Casey Jones also found that by choosing to forgive and pray for her enemies (mostly in her own family) that she herself experienced deeper levels of trust and emotional healing. As a victim advocate, educator and prayer minister, I know that it is extremely rare for those who suffer devastating betrayal in such an intimate way to seek help facing the Giants (lies) and the Programming Manipulator/Takers. Loving the truth brings healing. Though you might not have survived victimization yourself, it is likely that you have people that you care about in your life who have. You need this excellent book. Buy it now. Prepare to help them. Though it is difficult to read this sweet child's story, keep going. The last part of And The Angel Rocked Me details ways to touch others in need.

She is a Survivor!
The fact that Casey Jones is even alive is nothing short of a miracle! As the book chronicles the evil she endured for years as a child, the amazing coping skills given to her by a loving God in the form of a psyche fragmented into many alternative personalities are simply awesome. And as she grew to adulthood and the poor life choices she made as a result of the childhood abuse, God gave her extraordinary strength to combat the trials she endured and to even tell others to prevent predators from taking advantage of others. Her life amazes me!
Inspiring
I’ve known Casey for close to 60 years give or take. Her story is a moving tearful story of abuse and torture. I’m saddened by the fact I spent quite a few nights at her house and never dreamed of her monstrous abuse. I dearly wish I’d figured it out and been able to intervene for her safety. A quiet child that has survived and conquered with Gods help. I’m happy to say she’s a strong happy woman today and pray she has a wonderful life she so richly deserves
Excellent book!
This is an excellent book, great insight into the dynamic of a person with multiple personalities. I’ve read many books on this subject and this is by far one of the best. It was a fast read because it’s hard to put down once you start reading it.

Casey experienced such a dark period of her life as her book explains it all! It's been said that THE LORD only puts as much You as you can bare but, this is a untruth because THE LORD puts more on you than you can bare so that you will depend on Him More! I've know Casey for many years having worked with her on many trips. I never knew about the pain she suffered for such a long period of her life! Her Faith in GOD is what got her through this horrific period of her life. Her book is riveting as you can't put it down. Thank You Casey for sharing and for letting us all in. May THE LORD continue to Bless You, Heal You and Protect You Always...
...and Casey's experiences and faith rocked me!
I met Casey years ago through the airlines-we had worked together. She seemed to have it all together . I had no idea of the pain she was in,or the horrendous past she had endured. I couldn't put the book down. I did cringe while reading some of the pages,feeling such pain for her. I am so happy Casey has come through that life into a new and fulfilled one. Her faith and hope is surely a testimonial to us all. I have contacted her, and do hope to speak with her in person someday. What an amazing woman. I admire her and her inner strength. Fondly, Eileen Joy
Amazing story of Overcoming!
Casey has done a lot of work in her life to come to this book with a testimony of healing. Thank you for sharing, thank you for being brave. I've also had an abusive childhood, so your life story rings truth to mine. Thank you again.

No one should have to live this way but what the Devil meant for evil, God meant for good. Ms Jones writes from experience and gives good information on how to avoid these pitfalls. I thought the book would be hard to read, too graphic, but it is tastefully done and I appreciate her sharing how her loving God was with her at all times.
