As the good little girl in an unhappy family who hid her darker troubles, Abramson felt like she was living with another girl, a shadowy being who would neither leave nor make herself known. Her struggle to extricate herself from the ""impermeable, immutable knot"" of her family forms the heart of her dazzling book.Sightline books.AdolescenceBulimiaPatientsUnited StatesBiographyJewish familiesUnited StatesBiographyTeenage girlsUnited StatesBiographyElectronic books.Adolescence.BulimiaPatientsJewish familiesTeenage girls306.874092616.85/263/0092616.852630092Abramson Deb1968-882623MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450794003321Shadow girl1971632UNINA
