Almost There is the delivery of an experience that I never wanted. It involves the distorted thinking that comes from anorexia and compulsive thinking. What makes this more than a simple journal more than a painful letter to a sister that struggled without the acknowledgement that might have lead to an answer? Your perspective is the only answer. Your relationship to another with similar problems, with someone who refuses to see the truth may make this book worth a read. Your ability or desire to look beyond the news stories and headlines may justify the time and expense and it just may help in the painful process of loving someone who chooses a self destructive existence.
