In this riveting diary, an 11-year-old girl reveals her downward spiral into anorexia nervosa. Prior to her disease, she reports her uncomfortable sensation of being a misfit, her inability to please her parents, and others` negative comments about her physical appearance. She also notes her father`s authoritative attitude and her mother`s unhealthy relationship with food. This horrifying account illuminates the ways in a culture`s obsession with perfection, dieting, and body image, combined with an unhappy family life, can ruin a child. AUTHOR: Lori Gottlieb
