A struggle with body dysmorphia forces one girl to decide
if letting go of her insecurity also means turning her
back on her dreams. Sam has always known she’d be a professional dancer—but
that was before her body betrayed her, developing
unmanageable curves in all the wrong places. Lately, the
girl staring back at Sam in the mirror is unrecognizable.
Dieting doesn’t work, ignoring the whispers is pointless,
and her overbearing mother just makes it worse. Following a series of crippling anxiety attacks, Sam is
sent to a treatment camp for teens struggling with mental
and emotional obstacles. Forced to open up to complete
strangers, Sam must get through the program if she wants
to attend a crucial ballet intensive later in the summer.
It seems hopeless until she starts confiding in a camp
counselor who sparks a confidence she was sure she’d never
feel again. But when she’s faced with disappointing
setbacks, will Sam succumb to the insecurity that
imprisons her? This compelling story from Kathryn Holmes examines one
girl’s efforts to overcome her worst enemy: herself.
