description: Josie is a woman striving for perfection. She is starving herself in a quest to find her true essence. Weighing a mere sixty-seven pounds, she finds herself in a hospital, where she stubbornly rages against all forms of treatment for her anorexia. Instead Josie is determined to set her captive spirit gloriously free—even if she must destroy herself to do so.Darkly comic and crackling with energy, Life-Size is a deeply affecting story for anyone whose life is diminished by the tyranny of thinness.
