Losing Anna is the real-life diary of Lynnie, a teenage girl in the 1990s. A seemingly typical girl, with a fairly typical dysfunctional family, Lynnie puts her heart and soul into an unrequited romance with Evan. Her best friend Anna, meanwhile, finds a boyfriend and this threatens the very close bond they share. As they drift apart, Lynnie's transition to adulthood and all its rites of passage, is blighted by loneliness, self-harm, eating disorders and eventually drug addiction. This book comes as a warning that even well brought up children with no apparent harm, are not exempt from the tragedy of mental illness, and many suffer it entirely unknown to those around them.
