“Book Descriptions: My name is Dolores McBride, and I have been suffering from a very rare form of allergy since birth: touching other people causes me severe burns. I can't kiss a guy, hug my parents, leave the house without wearing gloves. I'm untouchable. It's like I'm living in an enchanted castle that holds me captive and punishes me with burns and scars for every attempt to "escape". She even came up with a name for her prison: Stigmalion. I no longer despair at the thought that I will be a prisoner of my diagnosis all my life - and I will die a prisoner. I do not entertain myself with dreams that a cure will be invented for my illness, and I do not expect that I will meet a person who does not leave burns on me… But what a tenacious feeling it is - hope. What if I still make an escape from Stigmalion? Maybe one day I will be able to know all this: touches, hugs, kisses, madness, freedom, love?..” DRIVE
