Par Ann M. Martin. 1998

what she eats. Maggie can&’t do much about the demands her dad puts on her. Or her mother&’s alcoholism. Or even her insecurity about being the lead singer of her band, Vanish.

When Maggie&’s friends begin to worry that she has an eating disorder, Maggie doesn&’t care. It&’s her body; it&’s her life . . . which is what her mom says about her drinking problem. Could Maggie and her mom have more in common than she thinks? This ebook features an illustrated personal history of Ann M. Martin, including rare images from the author&’s collection.
