Wie alle kleinen Mädchen hat Lily eine beste Freundin. Leider existiert diese aber nur in ihrem Kopf. Unablässig grollt ein wahres Denkgewitter in Lily, ihre kleine Freundin zischt ihr Befehle zu, sie hält sie dazu an, sich jeden Tag hundertmal die Hände zu waschen, sie tadelt und schikaniert sie, sie ist wie ein böser Geist, der von ihr Besitz genommen hat. Bis ihr Leben fast nur noch aus Zwangshandlungen besteht - und sie sich endlich Hilfe sucht. Mit dem Humor der heute (fast) Geheilten erzählt Lily Bailey ihre eigene Geschichte.
