Lena Winchester spent her whole life afraid of being too heavy, too lonely, too needy. She built a castle of glass and trapped herself in, all cobwebs and spider bones. When a clumsy accident pushes her and Melanie - the new girl in town - together it starts a tragic chain of events. Lena can't escape recovery, relapse and the rest. Sometimes dolls break and who's going to stop Lena when it's her that cracks.

'She's a shadow don't you know, all watered down stomach aches and crying into dusty pillows. It was written all along, scribed into her skin from the age of thirteen and up. The taste -never leaving her tongue- of too much, too many.  It started small, unlike her at 142lbs too heavy...'

Emily's Escape

57 parts Complete Mature

(Completed) Emily is suffering from anorexia; she just won't admit it to herself or anyone else. She doesn't want nor need any help, according to herself. Carter sees her struggle. He wants to help her. Will Emily finally accept help? And will she accept the help from someone she would have never imagined? And what will happen when she discovers that there's more to Carter too? ............... This book is about suffering and not admitting it. It's about getting help from a surprising source and realizing the feelings you get in the making. It's about sorrow, love, hatred, and a lot more! The book spans from when they're 17/18 to when they're 37, and you get an insight into their lives for a long period of time. I really hope you enjoy my book! Please let me know what you think! ::::::::::::::: TRIGGER WARNING This book is about anorexia and eating disorders. If you suffer from anorexia or any other eating disorder I do NOT recommend you reading this book. Though it is about recovery, it is graphic and you are in the thoughts of an anorexic. This may cause a trigger. Please know and respect your own boundaries and limits:) (Nr. 2 in eatingdisorders, August 12)
