This book blows my mind away. It deals with the consequences of what it means to be obese, but also how and why people get themselves to that point of near death. Look thought the Eyes Of Stevie of how her mother had schizophrenia, which caused her to drive over a bridge where only Stevie survived, haunted by the deaths of her mother and sister. Then how she over came her trials and stood up to get abusive uncle and got back her life.
