Book - Parent/Child
""Slim to None is the private journal of the late Jennifer Hendricks. Candidly detailed and eloquently written, it is an intimate chronicle of her long and ultimately fatal battle with anorexia, a disease that still claims more victims than any other mental illness." "The book illustrates Jenny's intense emotional struggles - how her pride for her improving health clashed with her undefined guilt over eating; her destructive conflict between will and reason; her dispiriting war between self-confidence and self-doubt. It is an extraordinary first-hand account of an illness that continues to undermine the mental-health system. Edited and with narration by Jenny's father, Slim to None is also the first journal of an anorexic to be published posthumously, revealing the innermost thoughts, fears, and hopes of a young girl stricken and fighting to recover. ..." -From the Publisher
