Growing up in Beverly Hills in the 1970s, Lori Gottlieb learned the lessons her culture had to teach her -- for example, that "no one could ever like a girl with thunder thighs". Lori took those lessons seriously, and saw her world fall slowly apart as she developed a fierce reluctance to eat -- winding up hospitalized for anorexia. Fortunately, the 11-year-old Lori recorded her journey to recovery in her diary, and her story is funny, slyly insightful, and surprisingly universal. Martin Scorsese's company, Carpo Productions, has purchased movie rights to Gottlieb's journal.Lori Gottlieb is the author of 'Stick Figure: A Diary of My Former Self' with ISBN 9780606214650 and ISBN 0606214658.
