Very Good. NICE BOOK! FIRST EDITION WITH CLEAN PAGES & JUST A COUPLE LIBRARY STICKERS. NO SPINE CREASES & VERY SLIGHT SHELF WEAR ON COVER. "Description: To Feel Stuff is the story of Elodie Harrington, medical anomaly. Elodie is a sufferer of mysterious and frequent illnesses-so frequent, in fact, that her poor health forces her to live in the Brown University infirmary. In the winter of her junior year, while recovering from a bout of tuberculosis, two major events occur in Elodie's isolated life. First, big-man-on-campus Chess Hunter enters the infirmary after having his knees bashed in during an a cappella performance, and Elodie begins an intense romance with him. Secondly, she begins to see a ghost. Believing that her barrage of illnesses has produced a supernatural change in her-specifically an ability to see the dead-Elodie turns to Dr. Kirschling to help her prove the phenomenon. Kirschling, a Brown medical school professor and practicing doctor, sees potential in Elodie. Convinced he'll be a hero within his profession if he can crack the cause behind her bizarre afflictions, Kirschling makes a deal with his patient. If she'll give him access to her life and let him write an article about her, then he'll keep the University from kicking her out of school. What Kirchling hasn't prepared himself for is the possibility that Elodie might be right, that she's really going through what he starts to refer to as "psychic puberty."
