I Am Stefanie Felix

Stefanie is a young girl who has a friend inside her mind. She calls this friend Annie but her family and treatment team call it an eating disorder. She finds comfort in listening to Annie because she thinks it is there for her when everyone else isn't. Part of her wants to rid her eating disorder but part of her wants to keep it. Annie makes her presence known often yelling and degrading Stefanie in her mind, making her regret eating. In this emotionally haunting young adult debut, Stefanie Felix shares her own journey through her eyes and her experience using her diary entries. She writes about her treatment journey, she writes about her thoughts regarding food and she writes about the things she does to keep her weight down. Will Stefanie be able to over come her struggles or will she continue to live her life by Annie's rules?
