Slim to None by Jennifer Hendricks

This eloquently written, heart-wrenching book shares a brave but tormented young woman’s candid chronicle of her long and ultimately fatal battle with the eating disorder anorexia. In Slim to None, the late Jenny Hendricks speaks to you from her own carefully detailed personal journals – a practice suggested as treatment by one of her many doctors.

Gently edited and narrated by her father, this book vividly illustrates Jenny’s intense emotional struggles – her pride at improving her health clashing with her undefined guilt over eating, her internal conflict between will and reason, and the dispiriting war between self-confidence and self-doubt that plagued her. Most of all, here is an amazing account of the efforts to understand the root of an illness that continues to confound the mental-health system, even at the dawn of the twenty-first century.
