Query: Hopeful and real

A great book and an easy read. I like this one more than Levenkron's, Best Little Girl in the World, because Katie's family was a mother who was abusive at times and neglectful. It didn't have a candy coated perfect little village for Katie's environment as seen in Levenkron's first fiction book. Her mother had poor coping skills and did try, but in trying was losing her temper and becoming abusive. Showing the attempts at intervention by those outside of the home, helped to educate the reader in the need to but yourself out for someone else, because you really can save a person's life. Abuse is insidious and young people don't need to always be removed from the parent if there is intervention, stress management classes and somebody checking up on the situation. It ended well and was not graphic or gross as some of the books on eating disorders have been. It depicts measures of success and how people view their own lives and the reality of their perspective.
