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 StatesBiographyAdolescence.BulimiaPatientsJewish familiesTeenage girls306.874092616.85/263/0092616.852630092Abramson Deb1968-1698618MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819509603321Shadow girl4080238UNINA
