		<description><![CDATA[Beyond The Best Little Girl in the World Maybe you&#8217;ve read The Best Little Girl in the World and was wondering if there were more novels out there about anorexia or other eating disorders. Or maybe, like me, you&#8217;re just fascinated by this psychological disease that strikes so many teenage girls. Novels about eating disorders [...]]]></description>

We turned us into wintergirls and when she tried to leave, I pulled her back into the snow because I was afraid to be alone.&#8221; Lia and Cassie have been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This book had a tremendous impact on me as a teen and I&#8217;m thrilled to see it back in print. The author went through anorexia herself and a lot of this story is autobiographical, which makes it all the more powerful. Leslie Hiller is a privileged, white, uptown girl. Her parents live to please her, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally! They said it couldn&#8217;t be done&#8211;but Lori Gottlieb has done it. She has written a memoir about anorexia that is FUNNY! Not to trivialize the seriousness of this disease, but Gottlieb&#8217;s descriptions of her shallow Beverly Hills family in high 70&#8242;s camp style is really hilarious. The downside to all that humor is the [...]]]></description>

Hello?! It&#8217;s all those other people who can&#8217;t stop shoveling food into their mouths who have an eating disorder, not her. Josie is pure and clean [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This compelling biography reads like a novel. Marya paints a chilling portrait of how bulimia and anorexia took over her teen years, and how she still struggles with her eating disorder, even today. Dragging the reader through her highest highs (a great political internship in Washington D.C.) and her weight dropped to 76 pounds) Marya [...]]]></description>

A wanna-be feminist in 1899, Nell doesn&#8217;t get much sympathy from her traditional family when she tries to turn down her cousin&#8217;s marriage proposal in favor of attending college. To distract herself from the impending doom of matrimony to a man she doesn&#8217;t love, Nell immerses [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;re not talking just five or ten pounds here &#8212; more like fifty, a hundred pounds of extra weight that just show up one day even though you weren&#8217;t eating anything. That&#8217;s the nightmare that is happening to [...]]]></description>
