The Best Little Girl in the World
Everyone agreed that Francesca was a model daughter. Quiet, obedient, a good student, she never caused her parents a moment's worry. And then one day her mother noticed that Francesca seemed to be losing weight -- a lot of weight. Francesca was ordered to stop dieting immediately, but still she wouldn't eat. And then the nightmare began, because Francesca was starving herself to death.
In this riveting story of a young girl's self-destructive obsession, author Steven Levenkron draws an accurate and moving portrait of one of the most fascinating and horrifying psychological disorders of our time -- anorexia nervosa, a disease that strikes one out of every three hundred teenage girls. THE BEST LITTLE GIRL IN THE WORLD is a representative case history of one girl afflicted by this shocking and compelling psychological disturbance.
