Picked up at the Ipswich meeting
I saw this book in a second-hand book shop and nearly bought it so, when it was on the table at the Book Crossing meeting I decided I just had to read it.
It is an interesting account of OCD, including a brief analysis of how Grace developed her obsession, how it has interfered with her life, and her attempts to get help to overcome it. But, in the end, this book is about accepting people who are different, and not trying to make everyone conform to some ideal, an ideal which is, at best, only average.
