No one seems to notice that Kayla has a problem, especially her mother. Then she meets Cameron. Cameron becomes more intrigued by Kayla the more that he gets to know her. When he realizes that she is starving herself, he makes it his mission to help her, but along the way he fell for her. Kayla is stronger with Cameron, she wants to be stronger. Can she fix herself before she totally disappears?
Heather Wood has written a story about two issues that plague many young girls today. She does not hold back, but really shows anorexia and bulimia for what they are, and illness.
