I loved this book! The author is a clinical psychologist dealing with a troubled adolescent girl. The main character is intelligent and gifted, but struggling with her own sanity, emotions, basic trust issues, sexuality, and eating disorders. At times she is suicidal, violent to others, paranoid and out of control. At other times, she shows childlike innocence and vulnerability. Dr. Anderson patiently re-establishes basic trust with her, and helps her disturbed patient find herself again. The story is enlightening and inspiring. In this book, you will find troubled teenagers that you have known, or may be dealing with now. You may even recognize yourself at times. It is a true story, and is therefore unpredictable, as true life often is. You will have trouble putting it down, as you wait to see how the story unfolds. By the end, you will understand the enigmatic title. The tale is contemporary, the characters well developed, and the lessons learned are timeless, being just as relevent now as when the story was written. This book is a must for any parent, any counselor, psychologist, teacher, doctor, youth leader, neighbor, friend or relative of a troubled adolescent. I'm anxiously waiting for Luleen Anderson's NEW BOOK to be published soon, titled "FILL ME UP TO EMPTY".
