Skin

This book was written from 14 yr. old Donnie's view. (Or whatever the word would be). His sister Karen has an eating disorder, she is anorexic. They go through the book with her in the hospital a couple of times, their father moving out and only coming around when he feels like it. Making trouble when he does. Their mom trying to get Karen to eat and keep up with the house, and trying to start back work again. Donnie is slowly watching his sister slip away, trying everything he can to make her better. This was a really good book, a little bit of a tear jerker towards the end. Im sure you would really enjoy it if you only gave it a chance.
