She wants to help other girls do the samerecognize their own beauty, both inside and out.
An estimated 8 million Americans have an eating disorder. Seven million of those are young women, and more and more of them are girls. Girls are increasingly growing dissatisfied with their bodies, trying to change them and fit into some image or mold of perfection that is impossible to achieve.
Where are they getting this from?
The answer is clear: their moms, sisters, friends, frenemies, television, movies, magazines, and every other media outlet imaginable.
When you open a magazine or watch a movie, what kind of girls do you see?
Skinny ones!
Impossibly perfect girls with immaculate bodies.
Everywhere they look, girls are inundated with carefully airbrushed, highly inaccurate images of the female body. Its no wonder they feel somethings wrong with them!

Packed with informative facts, moving personal anecdotes from Katherines life, and the voices of other Rock What Youve Got women, her book celebrates the female form, whatever the size, and inspires girls to ROCK WHAT YOUVE GOT!
