A deeply emotional graphic memoir of a young woman\'s struggles with self-esteem and Body image issues.
Key Text Features graphic novel comic style.
Marie-Noëlle Hébert\'s debut graphic memoir is visually stunning and drawn entirely in graphite pencil, depicting a deeply personal and emotional journey that encourages us to all be ourselves without apology.
Fortunately for Marie-Noëlle, a friend points her in the direction of therapy, and slowly, she begins to realize that she doesn\'t need the approval of others to feel whole.
When, as a young teen, Marie-Noëlle begins a fitness regime in an effort to change her body, her obsession with her weight and size only grows and she begins having suicidal thoughts.
This all-too-relatable memoir follows Marie-Noëlle from childhood to her twenties, as she navigates what it means to be born into a Body that doesn\'t fall within society\'s beauty standards.
Maybe then her parents wouldn\'t make fun of her eating habits at family dinners, the girls at school wouldn\'t call her ugly, and the boy she likes would ask her out.
She wishes that her thighs were slimmer, that her stomach lay flatter.
All Marie-Noëlle wants is to be thin and beautiful.
