Description
Stevie hat nichts mehr zu verlieren. Sie ist fest entschlossen, aus diesem Körper, aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Aber alle wollen sie daran hindern. Ihr Vater, der sie ins Therapiezentrum einweisen ließ. Anna, die so ganz anders ist als die anderen Seelenklempner. Und selbst den Mädchen, mit denen sie ein Zimmer und ein Schicksal teilt, fühlt sich Stevie jeden Tag näher. Aber sie wird sich nicht öffnen, sie hat schließlich einen Plan. Ehrlich bis zur Schmerzgrenze, mitfühlend und hoffnungsvoll erzählt.
-----------
Seventeen-year-old Stevie is trapped. In her life. In her body. And now in an eating-disorder treatment center on the dusty outskirts of the New Mexico desert.
Life in the center is regimented and intrusive, a nightmare come true. Nurses and therapists watch Stevie at mealtime, accompany her to the bathroom, and challenge her to eat the foods she’s worked so hard to avoid.
Her dad has signed her up for sixty days of treatment. But what no one knows is that Stevie doesn't plan to stay that long. There are only twenty-seven days until the anniversary of her brother Josh’s death—the death she caused. And if Stevie gets her way, there are only twenty-seven days until she too will end her life.
In this emotionally haunting and beautifully written young adult debut, Meg Haston delves into the devastating impact of trauma and loss, while posing the question: Why are some consumed by their illness while others embark on a path toward recovery?
