A struggle with body dysmorphia forces one girl to decide if letting go
of her insecurity also means turning her back on her dreams.
Sam has always known she'd be a professional dancer--but that was before
her body betrayed her, developing unmanageable curves in all the wrong
places. Lately, the girl staring back at Sam in the mirror is
unrecognizable. Dieting doesn't work, ignoring the whispers is
pointless, and her overbearing mother just makes it worse.
Following a series of crippling anxiety attacks, Sam is sent to a
treatment camp for teens struggling with mental and emotional obstacles.
Forced to open up to complete strangers, Sam must get through the
program if she wants to attend a crucial ballet intensive later in the
summer. It seems hopeless until she starts confiding in a camp counselor
who sparks a confidence she was sure she'd never feel again. But when
she's faced with disappointing setbacks, will Sam succumb to the
insecurity that imprisons her?
This compelling story from Kathryn Holmes examines one girl's efforts to
overcome her worst enemy: herself.
