Unwell - A novel by Leslie Lipton
This is the story of a young girl led astray by the allure of thinness and beauty and its potential power to change her life. It is also a story of friendship, love, hate, and hard choices. It is a story about the strength that we all have within us if only we can draw it out. Written in a perspective and voice not often encountered, it is the hope that this book will sober some, enlighten others and ultimately inspire all.
