Description
Lydia Baker fights a war every day.
A war with herself.
A war with food.
At 90 pounds she still feels fat. She still doesn't feel like a size zero. Lydia can see things that no one else can see. When she looks in the mirror she can see the fat hanging off of her body. The treatment hasn't helped her. No doctor has been able to give her a magic pill to cure her or to get rid of the thoughts in her head.
She was trapped inside her mind. Lydia doesn't see food as food. She only sees the calories and the numbers. Counting and starving and purging is all that she does.
When she eats too much she cuts herself to let the pain leak out. Every day means fewer calories, but it also means another scar to help strengthen her determination and to harden her heart just a little more.
Lydia has to be the skinniest of them all, and she'll hurt herself and her family to wear the skinny crown. The less she ate, the stronger she felt. The less she ate, the more she was in control. But Lydia was playing a dangerous game and risking it all to be thin, to be perfect.
A gritty provocative debut that explores the horrors of an eating disorder and self-harm and the power of recovery. Gemma Donoghue has written a gritty, raw, and real portrait of one girl's journey through mental illness and despair as she tried to put the pieces of herself back together.
Gemma Donoghue is the author of Talk, Good Enough, and Fragile.
