WIN $150 GIFT VOUCHERS: ALADDIN'S GOLD
Alayna Burke started her idea for Full as an eighteen-year-old senior in high school. She grew up in Saint Charles, Missouri, and always loved to write as a kid. Alayna developed anorexia, stemming from anxiety and depression, as a sixteen-year-old. Outpatient treatment and a strong support system helped Alayna recover in about two years, although the voice of her eating disorder still nags at her every once in a while. Alayna often wished there was a book out there from the voice of a teen who could relate to her, so she's providing just that for other women. FULL is Alayna's first published work. She is currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in nutrition and exercise physiology with a minor in psychology at the University of Missouri. Alayna plans to become a registered dietitian. Melissa Kelley grew up in Saint Charles, Missouri, the third of six children. Her love for writing began in high school and blossomed in her forties when she began blogging and writing a memoir. Full is her first published work.Throughout her career, Melissa has worked in both corporate and civic non-profit organizations. She currently holds a leadership position in a company whose mission is to make the planet better through environmental sustainability services. In 2018, Melissa was named one of Saint Louis' Most Influential Businesswomen by the St. Louis Business Journal. Melissa holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Truman State University and a Master of Business Administration from Washington University in Saint Louis. She lives with her two children, Athena Robin Kelley and Erin Iris Christine Kelley, and their Cavapoo, Noah, in Saint Louis, Missouri.
Their voices are unique, yet the vulnerabilities they share and challenges they face are not only at the core of the recovery process but perhaps, universal to successfully navigating adult development. The result is informative and inspirational. - Kim McCallum MD; Psychiatrist, Author, Advocate Founder McCallum Place Eating Disorders Treatment Centers In this dialogue between the generations, we understand so much of the ever-changing challenge in becoming a whole person... - Nigel C Lester MD, Psychiatrist
