Between Donna & Me

Between Donna & Me: An Entanglement of Recovery

What happens when the voice inside your head becomes your greatest enemy-and learning to love yourself becomes the hardest fight of your life?

In Between Donna & Me, poet kai glenney invites readers into the raw, complicated, and deeply human experience of eating disorder recovery.

Through powerful poetry, vulnerable storytelling, and evocative illustrations, kai introduces us to Donna-the relentless voice of an eating disorder-and the exhausting struggle to reclaim a life shaped by shame, perfectionism, trauma, and society's impossible expectations.

These pages are filled with moments of heartbreak, unexpected humor, courage, and hope. They reveal a truth too often overlooked: Recovery isn't a straight line. Healing isn't always beautiful. And you don't have to be perfect to be worthy of love.

Whether you're navigating your own recovery, struggling with body image, supporting someone you love, or simply searching for words to describe feelings you've never been able to express, this collection offers something powerful: the reminder that you are not alone.

This isn't just a book about an eating disorder. It's a book about finding your voice, reclaiming your body, and discovering that you are worthy-exactly as you are.

For anyone who has ever felt at war with themselves, these poems are a reminder that your story isn't over.
