`I enjoyed her style of writing and would certainly recommend this book to anyone interested in eating disorders' - Signpost

`Provides a valuable insight into how a young person with an eating disorder thinks and feels' - Contact a Family

Looking in the bathroom mirror for the first time since my illness had begun, I saw how I really looked. I was a walking skeleton, with my skin stretched tight over my bones. My face had become a skull, and when I smiled, it looked like I was wearing a horror mask.

Anna has suffered a serious eating disorder and, more importantly, she has recovered!

In this book she provides the reader with:

" a moving account of her experiences

" information about eating disorders

" a plan for recovery

" HOPE.
