More than ten years in the writing, CALEB award finalist, Skinny Girl, is a powerful story of faith, friendship and impossible breakthroughs. 

Here’s a quick overview:

When twenty-year-old Sydney girl, Sue Hutchison, discovered her sister was engaged, she thought her life would fall apart. How could she manage without her best friend? And when would someone love her the way her sister was being loved?

Desperate for attention, Sue began dieting, chasing the ideal figure of the 80s—lean and athletic. Determination quickly turned to obsession and she became caught in a relentless cycle of extreme calorie counting and exercise. While her body grew thinner and weaker, Sue rejected every offer of help, withdrawing further into her protective shell. Meanwhile, her university friends prayed and plotted to intervene—before it was too late.

Readers will follow Sue’s journey as she faces the dark roots of her eating disorder, learns how to forgive, takes responsibility for her choices and develops new patterns of thinking. 

For every girl who’s judged herself by her appearance, struggled with an eating disorder or been wounded in relationships, this story offers hope for healing. Honest, enlightening and ultimately uplifting, Sue’s story will remind you that with the right support, a teachable heart and plenty of prayer, freedom is possible.
