She's too busy being a single mum, hating her ex-husband's new wife and trying to keep an eye on Jo - who seems to have stopped communicating with her altogether.When Jo is diagnosed with anorexia, Lizzie is desperate with worry and their lives spin out of control. Jo needs help and she needs it now.Beneath Jo and Lizzie's fears and frustrations is a funny, warm and insightful story about a mother and her daughter who go on a journey to find themselves - and each other.All of our books are second hand, and while you may not get the exact copy shown in the picture, all of our books are in very good condition.
