Jak większość dzieci Katie była wybredna. W milczeniu wysłuchiwała rodzic�w grożących, że niedokończone posiłki dostanie następnego dnia na śniadanie. Niezjedzone porcje ukrywała w swoim pokoju. Zdarza się, że przez nagromadzenie pewnych okoliczności normalne zachowanie przerodzi się w coś złowrogiego, coś zab�jczego. Tak było w przypadku Katie.Katie Green na ponad 500 stronach opowiada o genezie swojej anoreksji, powolnym wychodzeniu z choroby, nadużyciach ze strony os�b, kt�re żerując na słabości chorego, dopuszczają się niewyobrażalnych czyn�w.
