Thin Veils

by Anne Hanson

What happens to friendship when dieting becomes deadly? Quite suddenly, tragedy became a part of Erica Shepherd's life. Her best friend, Kim Spencer, died yesterday. Kim, a high school freshman, was too young to die. Erica might have helped if she had found Kim's diary sooner. Words written privately in her journal detailed an eating disorder and painted a picture of a young girl in serious trouble. If only Erica had known. Now it is too late. The funeral is tomorrow.
