In the bestselling tradition of Augusten Burroughs, a compassionate, witty, and completely candid memoir that chronicles growing up with obsessive-compulsive disorder. When all the neighborhood kids were playing outdoors, seven-year-old Traci Foust was inside making sure the miniature Catholic saint statues on her windowsill always pointed north, scratching out bald patches on her scalp, and snapping her fingers after every utterance of the word God. As Traci grew older, her OCD blossomed to include panic attacks and bizarre behaviors, including a fear of the sun, an obsession with contracting eradicated diseases, and the idea that she could catch herself on fire just by thinking about it. While stints of therapy -- and lots of Nyquil -- sometimes helped, nothing alleviated the fact that her single mother and mid-life crisis father had no idea how to deal with her. Traci Foust shares her wacky and compelling journey with brutal honesty, from becoming a teenage runaway on the poetry slam beat in the hippie beach towns of Northern California to living at a family-owned nursing home, in a room with a seventy-five- year-old WWII Vet who kept mistaking her for a prostitute. In this funny, frenetic, and wonderfully dark-humored account of her struggles with a variety of psychological disorders, Traci ultimately concludes that there is nothing special about being “normal.”

More than thirteen years ago, an acquaintance of mine mentioned a story about being visited by beings from outer space. Sometimes he talked about things that didn't match his lifestyle or his knowledge at all. Over the following years, in random encounters somewhere on the street, he recounted the mysterious events in his life. At first I doubted it all. I do not deny that I was fascinated by these events. Since he is an absolutely simple-thinking person, I understand that all this can be based on facts. I have always nicknamed him Bertrand and so I name him in this book. The last time Bertrand told me about a mysterious meeting that took place in Zemplínská Šírava, I decided to write a book about it. Be that as it may, it is indisputable that this person could invent such a thing. His hard life wouldn't give him room for that, and besides, Bertrand was never interested in science fiction and related things. It took me a very long time to at least partially compose these illogical and torn thoughts that he entrusted to me. That's why I wrote this incredible story as much as I could.

I thought I was safe. But now I know, there is nowhere I can run where he won’t find me. The man who stalked me, hunted me. The man who conquered my body and stole my heart. The man who did everything in his power to destroy me. The father of my child. Just the sight of him fills me with terror. And a desperate, shameful longing. One look at him and my body aches for his savage touch, for those passion filled nights we shared before I learned who—what—he truly is. I never wanted to be a part of his ruthless world. But that choice is no longer mine to make. Others are coming, men who do not contain even that shred of decency I’ve glimpsed in Christian. With our daughter’s life at stake, I can only pray he finally sees our love for what it truly is: His north star, his light in the darkness, his compass. His absolution. *Intended for an 18+ audience*
