As Holly drifts deeper each day into the secretive world of bulimia, she eventually puts her health in serious jeopardy without anyone at all barely noticing, least of all her divorced parents. Finally Holly finds a confidant in an unlikely friend. Mrs. Sinclair lives next door and is in her seventies. As she shares her own experiences as a child evacuee out of London during the Second World War, she helps Holly to reclaim her life in the most curious war possible: the war with oneself.

Jeffrey and Martin suddenly had to turn away and step back for a moment to catch their breaths! Flesh was being deep-fried and served to paying customers! Fingers and toes were tempered with a sweet sauce and were being offered as a quick snack! Sections of arms and legs were hanging from overhead racks like sides of beef! "You call me boy again, and I'll use this thing to slice a smile into that ugly face of yours! Now I'm here to help you kill that creep "
