This groundbreaking book is the only honest, balanced and complete introduction to the frightening online eating disorder underground.  Explore a world that no one wants to believe exists:  learn the secret code words, debunk the myths (find out why thousands of young girls are really flooding these sites) and read hundreds of anonymous rants, declarations of commitment and pleas for help from Ana's girls. This book does not promote eating disorders.  It exposes the undeniable fact that thousands of young people are struggling in isolation with very real, life threatening disorders and we, as a society have not been able to help them.  If we ignore this information, we choose to ignore their cry and lose the opportunity to gain potent insight into their world. Ana's girls are our children, our sisters, our spouses, our patients and our students; they are represented in every class and race. No community is sheltered from this pain.  No community is complete without their health.  Let us take the first step towards becoming whole by hearing their cry.
