Abstract:
Beautifully written and astonishingly intimate, Lily Bailey recounts a childhood consumed by obsessive compulsive disorder. Charming and raw, harrowing and redemptive, this is an illuminating and uplifting look into the mind and soul of an extraordinary young woman and a startling portrait of OCD that allows us to see and understand this condition as never before.
