Abby on TYRA!
Amen, Amen, Amen is Abby Sher’s brave, haunting, amazing memoir of her lifelong struggle with OCD. But it’s more than this—it’s an inspiring tale of a woman overcoming adversity, learning to trust herself, allowing herself to fall in love, letting go of her parents’ complex legacy. For memoir-lovers, it is a prayer answered. Told in the author’s fresh, wise, witty voice, I found the book, at times, impossible to put down. This incredible book makes for obsessive, compulsive reading. —Jennifer Finney Boylan >> Author of SHE’S NOT THERE and
