One look at Eve and you know that there\u2019s something about James and his music that speaks to her.<\/p>\n<p>On her returning \u201chome\u201d, we realize that Eve is not in a boarding school, but in a residential treatment facility\/psychiatric hospital for a severe eating disorder.\u00a0 Through conversations with her psychiatrist, we learn just enough to know Eve has had a tough life, a life that pushed her into depression and this disorder.\u00a0 Unable to cope, Eve\u2019s one outlet is songwriting and music. Pouring her feelings into lyrics is emotionally freeing.\u00a0 But she wants more.\u00a0 She wants to perform.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-735\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/god-help-the-girl-7-400x225.jpg\" alt=\"god help the girl -
