 Life
does not end just because you die. This is the first of many lessons
Sherrie is faced with when her life is tragically cut short at the age
of fourteen. Overcome with a sense of loss and desperation, Sherrie is
suddenly thrust into the unknown and a Heaven she never could have
imagined. It is a Heaven where there is no one answer to anything; a
Heaven where lives are played out like movies and flowers grow tall in
each individual’s garden. There, with the help of her spirit guide,
Sera, she must review her own life in order to move on to the next
level. In order to do this, she must learn to let go of the things—and
people—she cares for, come to terms with her unhappy past, accept that
which she cannot change, and forgive the mother who never loved her.

Thin Club is the fictional story of an eleven-year-old girl who develops anorexia nervosa. It is very well written and well suited for that age group. The author documents the classic path toward self-destruction that a pre-teen child can travel, influenced by insecurity, emotional distress, peer pressure, and the public media. It is a wonderful primer for parents and children involved in this devastating illness.
