Author: Marianne Apostolides
ISBN: 0393045900

For teenage girls and young women, the pressures that accompany adolescence--pressures to be "normal, " to be perfect, to be popular--can often be overwhelming. And although many escape this period relatively unscathed, others, unable to cope successfully with the emotional and physical uncertainties facing them, may develop eating disorders. Nearly one out of every ten females is seriously affected by an eating disorder; at the age of fourteen Marianne Apostolides became one of them, embarking on a painful, decade-long struggle with anorexia, binge eating, and bulimia.
