Paperweight follows seventeen-year-old Stevie's journey as she struggles not only with a life-threatening eating disorder, but with the question of whether she can ever find absolution for the mistakes of her past.and whether she truly deserves to. And if Stevie gets her way, there are only twenty-seven days until she, too, will end her life. There are only twenty-seven days until the anniversary of her brother Josh's death-the death she caused. But what no one knows is that Stevie doesn't plan to stay that long. Her dad has signed her up for sixty days of treatment. Nurses and therapists watch Stevie at meal time, accompany her to the bathroom, and challenge her to eat the foods she's worked so hard to avoid. Life in the center is regimented and intrusive, a nightmare come true. And now in an eating-disorder treatment center on the dusty outskirts of the New Mexico desert. This emotionally haunting and beautifully written young adult debut delves into the devastating impact of trauma and loss, in the vein of Laurie Halse Anderson's Wintergirls.
