"Fifteen year old Billie Weinstein has just started her sophomore year in high school, found a boyfriend, and is best friends with Tiffany, the sleazy new girl in school. Billie is the younger daughter of a surgeon father and teacher mother. Her older sister Cassie is a freshman at Cornell and has begun to exhibit disturbing self-destructive behavior. Right before Christmas and finals week, Billie and her father are called to Cornell to take Cassie home. She is a shocking sight at 95 pounds. Once home the situation only worsens and Cassie is put in a clinic. It is now that Billie finally sees the pattern of her family's life; her loving but controlling father and kind but too passive mother. And as Billie's father starts working on her and her grades and college tests, she begins to build her own character and strength, hopefully to cope better than her sister."
