The Death of Me is a true coming of age story of a young girl’s fight with Anorexia, Bulimia, LGBT issues, and Bipolar Disorder, which takes her on a frightening road through years of madness and dozens of hospitalizations.
Feeling the mockery of her peers, Shawnna never quite fit in in school. Feeling afraid and alone, her turmoil reaches a crucial boiling point as adolescence draws near. A very macabre personality begins to take over her, as she discovers her weight is something she can control, that her appetites were the issue.
All her life, something dangerous has been waiting in the wings. It waits to take her at her weakest moment. The monster comes forth, and carries her away.
"The Death of Me" is a tale of passion, repression, obsession, power, a desperation for meaning, drama, and desire. The fear of drowning in one's emotions forever. And repression of feeling anything at all and emerging raw and skinless, and feeling everything. This is the story of a young girl's response to the world and to the turbulent emotions that run tempestuously throughout her life, like snakes in the grass. She must come ultimately come face to face with the demons of her past and present - or die.
