Sommario/riassunto

This is a fictional work about three teenage girls who have some eating problems. Anna Paterson has drawn on her extensive experience to explore the different effects on each girl. She describes the difficulties they face as secrets are disclosed and treatment is embarked upon. Her hope is that young people who suffer from an eating disorder will recognise the condition, feel safer talking to someone and that the stories will provide a means of support.
