Danah's eating disorder has a personality – it's a demon she calls Ed, the voice in her head that undermines her self-esteem and her perception of the world. How can she explain that even when she tries to develop healthier eating habits, there is a demon wriggling inside her mind, determining her every step? The eighteen-year-old author of this novel for teens brings her own journal entries to life, revealing the mental anguish of a teen suffering with anorexia and the terrifying grip the disorder holds on her.

Danah Khalil was inspired to write at a very young age by some of her favourite authors. This is her first novel, based on her own life and her own journals. She continues with her journal entries, fictional novels, and poetry in hopes of inspiring others to tell their stories through writing as well. Danah lives in Toronto.
