The Girls at 17 Swann Street

Anna Roux was a ballerina in Paris, France, married to the man of her dreams. But beauty and grace eluded her. All she saw in the mirror was imperfection. A body that was terribly overweight. Changing her diet failed to make her thinner, and a knee injury sidelined her career.
Despite a full recovery, Anna no longer dances. When her husband’s job brought them to St. Louis, Missouri, she found little to occupy her days. Lonely, homesick, and despairing, her appetite dwindled until she weighed a mere eighty-eight pounds.
Now, Anna has taken up residence at 17 Swann Street, where women with life-threatening eating disorders live. Every step Anna takes towards recovery requires strength, endurance, and the support of the girls at 17 Swann Street.
