This work grants readers access to the emotional and psychological underpinnings of its author, Jennifer Hendricks. Step-by-step, readers follow Jenny's long journey through a "wasteland" of failed treatments, and abuse by the mental health system that kept her captive most of her life.
A young woman's fatal battle with anorexia, in her own words In the tradition of Go Ask Alice, Prozac Nation, and Girl Interrupted, Slim to None grants readers precious access to the emotional and psychological underpinnings of its author. Step-by-step, readers follow Jenny's long journey through a "wasteland" of failed treatments and therapies, false hope, and abuse by the mental health system that kept her captive most of her life. Although this disease has been at the forefront of public awareness for years, anorexia continues to claim more victims than any other mental illness. Slim to None reveals the glaring inadequacy of the mental health system to treat and fully understand this disease. The first journal of an anorexic to be published posthumously, the book discloses the innermost thoughts, fears, and hopes of a young girl stricken and fighting to recover.

Jennifer Hendricks was 45 pounds when she died at age 25 after a 10-year battle with anorexia. She was valor Victorian of her high school class and an artist. Gordon Hendricks is a retired partner from Arthur Anderson who is now pursuing his publishing dream. He has won several non-fiction awards for excerpts from this book and continues to write for magazines and syndicated newspapers, including the Rocky Mountain News and Ski magazine. He won third place in the Best of the West fiction contest for his story "The Prize."
