I was Compelled

By Ken Gorman

Injured in Iraq, Army doctors suspect Drew Baxter, a giving person, has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. After his discharge and a depressing experience in Las Vegas, he lives alone in Lavallette, a beach community on the Jersey shore. His compulsion becomes a magnet for confrontations. He takes on a heavy-handed boss, an ambitious mayor and a scheming attorney. Drew endures heartbreaks and guilt. These personal tragedies exacerbate his recurring nightmare and inner conflict. Following group psychotherapy, he's diagnosed with a potentially debilitating compulsive disorder. Angie Carswell, his future wife, becomes his lifeline to reality as he struggles to gain peace of mind, while employed as a paralegal.
