She was a girl with a dream-big, bright, and unrelenting. A dream to be just like her family, to carry their strength, their grace, their pride in everything she did. Her family was her whole world, the center of her universe-but so was dance, and so was figure skating. Each pirouette, each glide across the ice, each step on stage, was a piece of her soul. She wanted it all, and she wanted it perfectly. Her dance teacher favored her, and it seemed, at first glance, that life was easy. She had talent, attention, and opportunity all wrapped up in her small shoulders. But as the seasons passed, the pressure began to build, invisible yet suffocating, pressing down on her until it cracked the edges of her confidence. Each competition, each rehearsal, each critique chipped away at the little girl who once danced freely. Her mother would do anything for her, every sacrifice imaginable, every quiet late night and early morning. She watched her daughter's eyes sparkle with joy, that fleeting light of hope and happiness that could light up a room... but sometimes, she would see it dim, flicker, and disappear entirely. And each time, her mother's heart ached, knowing that the very thing she loved most-her daughter's passion-was being worn down by the very world that promised to celebrate it. Her father loved her with every fiber of his being. He adored her, cheered her, carried her burdens alongside her. But there were nights when he felt her slipping, losing herself to expectations, to routines, to the relentless drive to be perfect. He feared losing her-not physically, but the spark, the girl who laughed freely, who twirled just for joy. And that fear tightened around his chest like a vise, threatening to crush him as he watched her grow up in a world that demanded more than she could always give.

***MATURE WARNING*** "The hunger is good. You had too many calories already. You're already fat." "They'll love you even more when you're skinny. You'll be their perfect little angel when you're nice and pretty." "Lilly, I heard you puking up the cupcake in the bathroom, and then you whispered, 'So many calories,'" "Red everywhere, just washed away by the shower drain." "She starts shaking and jerking around, making noises like she's gasping for air." This is Lilly Ketchman's life. Eating disorders affect 9% of America. Anorexia affects 0.5% of the female population in the U.S. Bulimia affects 1.5% of the female population in America. But in that 1.5%, you don't expect a 7-year-old who just wants to be a dance star. Lilliana Ketchman goes by Lilly. Please call her Lilly. Lilliana is too painful for her. Lilliana is what the eating disorder calls her. She seems to be a happy-go-lucky kid. The kid that puts a smile on anybody's face and lights up the whole room. But she can never put a real smile on her own face or make herself happy. She's beautiful, but she doesn't believe it. Because Ms. Abby never lies. Bulimia. How the hell does a 7-year-old figure out how to make themself throw up and understand that that can make them skinny? It doesn't matter. Bulimia takes over her life for two years. Two whole years she withered away. Until her mother forces her to the hospital. She used to be in this big black vortex of pain and suffering, but she's stronger. She got help and recovered. And now, she's back two years later at the Abby Lee Dance Company to dance again. But will Lilly stay strong when Ms. Abby starts commenting the same stuff to her? Will she fall back into the same patterns, or worse, create even deadlier patterns?
