I am BIG

Andrea is thirteen years old, overweight, and has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In a world obsessed with appearances, she simply doesn’t fit into any box. Haunted by society’s expectations, her mother, Luisa, has turned their home into a sanctuary—a fortress against the relentless labels of the outside world. Her daily struggle: helping Andrea find balance between her unique way of perceiving things and a reality that will, sooner or later, force her to stand her ground.

Driven by unforgettable characters who bring both unfiltered grit and moments of raw freshness to the story, I Am BIG dissects the fractures of modern society with brutal honesty.

This is not a feel-good story; it is an unvarnished reality check. A necessary novel that proves the greatest limitation often exists in the mind of the beholder.
It’s not a diagnosis. It’s a matter of perspective.

After reading this book, you will never see the world the same way again.
