Cynthia Rowland apparently suffered from bulimia for twelve years. The book opens with a brief description of her bingeing and purging routine and quickly moves on to a Christian rehab facility setting. The whole book is about Cynthia's experience in rehab. All she does is whine, cry, and blame others. She develops a crush on a married patient and forms friendships with several teenagers and otherwise acts like a child instead of a twenty-eight year old woman.
