Synopsis
As a child, Lily Bailey knew she was bad. By the age of 13, she had killed someone with a thought, spread untold disease, and spied upon her classmates.
Only by performing a series of secret routines could she correct her wrongdoing. But it was never enough. She had a severe case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and it came with a bizarre twist.
Raw and candid, this is a true story from a startlingly original writer. Prepare to be transported to a new world.
Lily Bailey is a model and writer who lives in London. She has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, better known as OCD, and is hoping this, her first book, will adjust the public perception of the condition.
