Growing up in a small town in South Texas in the eighties and
nineties, poverty, machismo, and drug addiction were everywhere for
Tomas Q. Morin. He was around four or five years old when he first
remembers his father cooking heroin, and he recalls many times he
and his mother accompanied his father while he was on the hunt for
more, Morin in the back seat keeping an eye out for unmarked cop
cars, just as his father taught him. It was on one of these drives
that, for the first time, he blinked in a way that evolution hadn't
intended. Let Me Count the Ways is the memoir of a journey into
obsessive-compulsive disorder, a mechanism to survive a childhood
filled with pain, violence, and unpredictability. Morin's
compulsions were a way to hold onto his love for his family in
uncertain times until OCD became a prison he struggled for decades
to escape. Tender, unflinching, and even funny, this vivid portrait
of South Texas life challenges our ideas about fatherhood, drug
abuse, and mental illness.
