Anna Roux, 26, weighs 88 pounds and her body is shutting down; her last hope is 17 Swann Street, a residential treatment center for women with eating disorders. What follows is the sometimes heartbreaking, yet hopeful story of Anna's road to recovery. Her journey is paved with the support of the Emm, Valerie and Julia, who, like Anna, struggle every day against their diseases. Can Anna get her life, her love and the Anna she remembers herself to be back again?

The Girls at 17 Swann Street, is an intimate look at anorexia, of finding the will to live, being brave enough to fight the voices and learning to accept yourself. I devoured this book full of insightful dialogue and I highly recommend it!
