GARNERVILLE, N.Y., April 18, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- An accident triggers an anxiety in a young boy that would change himself and his life forever. Follow his fascinating story and his struggle with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in Love and Madness, the touching new book written by Evan Wechman.
Love and Madness is a short, tightly written novella chronicling the life of an Obsessive Compulsive individual from childhood to adulthood. It follows his descent into madness and his struggle to return to his once healthy self and find peace, love, and understanding in a cruel and unsympathetic world. Though fictional, it is a realistic portrait of a man suffering from a disease that just won't let go. It is also a dark romance in which the main character is obsessed and tortures with thoughts of a long lost love -- a love that would further lure him deeper into madness.
