Vanishing (Laura Geringer Books)

Alice wants to feel at home. Not easy, when her family isn't a functional unit; even harder when her father ships her off to an alcoholic mother and bully stepfather. When a serious case of bronchitis lands Alice in the hospital, she takes a desperate step at controlling her life: she goes on a hunger strike. But with the threat of a coma and death looming, Alice must decide how long she will go hungry for love. . . .Brooks, Bruce is the author of 'Vanishing (Laura Geringer Books)' with ISBN 9780606192699 and ISBN 0606192697.
