“A surprising tale of success by medical science confronted with a nearly insurmountable disorder. Well-rounded, powerful, and inspirational.”
—
Kirkus Reviews
In the vein of
Manic
and
Girl, Interrupted
, and the popular stories of Oliver Sacks,
Life in Rewind
is the captivating true story of promising young athlete Ed Zine’s sudden descent into severe mental illness, and the brilliant Harvard doctor, Michael A. Jenike, who broke through the boundaries of traditional medicine to save him. Written by Terry Weible Murphy with Zine and Jenike,
provides a shocking picture of severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and the surprising and unorthodox lengths to which a doctor goes to help his patient. The
Washington Times
calls this, “[An] extraordinary story.” It is that and much more.
