YOU NEVER CALLED ME PRINCESS
The Kaitlyn Chronicles #1

After all, it’s easy to lose weight when you don’t eat, right?

Kaitlyn quickly discovers that the rewards of being thin are fantastic. Boys in school take notice. Her popularity soars. Meanwhile, Kaitlyn restricts her diet even more. Unfortunately, Kaitlyn’s unhealthy weight loss falls under the radar since her family has other problems. Big problems, life-changing problems.

But when Kaitlyn's weight loss reaches a critical phase, as her family rallies around her, Kaitlyn will discover that there's more to life than being popular and thin. But will this revelation come too late?

It’s been a year and a half since Kaitlyn was first hospitalized for a life-threatening eating disorder. And just when she thinks her life is back on track, she’s thrown for another loop. A devastating loop. Diagnosed with a heartbreaking medical condition, it’s all Kaitlyn can do to keep it together — and keep it together she must. After all, she’s about to enter high school and a whole new world of boys and trouble.

**Acclaim for the Novels of Elaine Babich**

"Heartbreaking and Touching. A powerful story of a teenager's struggle with anorexia, told in a straight forward and powerful way, without talking down to the reader and without being overly sentimental. You Never Called Me Princess is an honest look at what could happen when a young girl decides to lose weight at all costs. Should be mandatory reading for any parent who suspects their child might have an eating disorder. I believe the novel will show the reader that there are answers to their problems, and that they are not alone. Highly recommended. An important novel."
