Two too thin

by Camie Ford

These are two classic cases, with distorted physical perception, suppressed feelings of hopeless inadequacy, a desire to control everything that impinges on one's world, and monumental self-deception -- symptoms that are becoming frighteningly familiar to many apparently well-balanced American families. How these two women, so different and yet so similar, become trapped in the coils of anorexia nervosa -- and find the same cure -- is a gripping story of rare candor and poignancy. - Publisher.
