Kissing Doorknobs
Kissing Doorknobs | Terry Spencer Hesser
3 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
During her preschool years, Tara Sullivan lived in terror that something bad would happen to her mother while they were apart. In grade school, she panicked during the practice fire drills. Practice for what?, Tara asked. For the upcoming disaster that was bound to happen? Then, at the age of 11, it happened. Tara heard the phrase that changed her life: Step on a crack, break your mother's back. Before Tara knew it, she was counting every crack in the sidewalk. Over time, Tara's "quirks" grew and developed: arranging her meals on plates, nonstop prayer rituals, until she developed a new ritual wherin she kissed her fingers and touched doorknobs.... From the Paperback edition.

"Don't step on a crack or you'll break your mother's back."

Read this after Mara Wilson mentioned it in her memoir. This is a semi-autobiographical account of the author's struggle with OCD. The story and the portrayal of the mental illness was interesting, but many of the characters were very one-dimensional. ???
