The Web: The triumph of a New Zealand girl
Description
The Web: The triumph of a New Zealand girl over Anorexia by Deborah Furley. Deborah Furley is the pseudonym for a young girl who lives in a provincial New Zealand city and whose true identity cannot be revealed. Her diary, written in 1986-87, is a stunningly powerful and tragic account of how she lived with, and finally overcame, anorexia nervosa, the "starving disease" which has become a major problem among teenage girls, often with death as its final outcome. But Deborah has other problems, too, such as a sick father with incestuous tendencies who stalks these pages naked and threatening, and a mother with whom she has a strange love-hate relationship as she struggles to conceal her vomiting of food.' The book has light general wear and remains tight and bright.
