As Tyranny shakes her - ''I '''TOLD''' you not to eat! You are '''TOO''' fat!'' - Anna thinks back. She used to take joy in life. She used to dream of a bright future - a career, boyfriends, children - but it all went wrong when she hit puberty. She wasn't keen on on the curves of her new, more womanly body. When she looked in the mirror, she didn't see an hourglass figure developing; she saw fat and flab. Deaf to the warnings of her parents and her boyfriend, she listened to Tyranny and entered into the desperate, downward cycle of anorexia.

Other valuable books about anorexia include [[Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson]], which gets right inside the mind of a sufferer, [[A Perfect Ten by Chris Higgins]], which has a wonderful lightness of touch as it picks its way through difficult issues, and [[Second Star to the Right by Deborah Hautzig]], which is moving and intensely personal.
