Description
Elizabeth has lost much more than just weight. She's lost her boyfriend, her peace of mind, and a sense of self. Now, at Wallingfield, a treatment center for girls with eating disorders, she's determined to endure the program in order to return home and resume her restrictive eating habits. But as she navigates this difficult journey, Elizabeth begins receiving mysterious packages that challenge everything she thought she knew about herself. Through Elizabeth's painful struggle, author Alexandra Ballard skillfully illustrates the complexity of an eating disorder, highlighting the need for support and vigilance. This is a powerful and authentic young adult novel that explores the challenges of recovery and the importance of self-acceptance. Readers will root for Elizabeth as she takes steps towards healing and growth, and gain a deeper understanding of the illness that has taken hold of her life.
