	PREMISE:
	Trying to get in shape, Lexi and Jennifer get rid of the food by vomiting it up. This would lead Lexi's mother into a struggle with her daughter, trying to take her to a bulimic  center. Though she recovers, her friend Jennifer may be in the same problem, in spite of her mother.
	A Secret Between Friends is the story of a young girl named Alexis “Lexi” Archer. Lexi has moved from her home in Chicago with her mother and sister after her parents get divorced. Besides grieving for her parents' breakup, she is becoming concerned about her weight. At her new home in Seattle, Lexi meets Jennifer Harnsberger, a beautiful, smart, and talanted girl on the volleyball team. The girls become fast friends; Lexi needs someone to cling to in her new environment, Jen needs someone who can understand and accept her painful secrets. One evening while the girls are hanging out together Lexi learns that Jen is bulimic. She promises to keep her best friend's secret, and, with Jen's help, soon follows suit. Lexi soon becomes anorexic and her health takes a turn for the worse. Her mother Kathryn begins to notice the signs and tries to do everything in her power to help Lexi, but it will take more than pleading to end this deadly habbit.

Teenager Lexi Archer is an athlete, a scholar and part of her school's popular crowd. But Lexi and her best friend share a secret that is killing them both anorexia/bulimia. This latest, two-hour installment of the Moment of Truth franchise tackles an issue that haunts thousands of young girls and focuses on one mother's determination to help her daughter live.      It started innocently enough. Lexi and her friend Jennifer, both star volleyball players, set a weight loss goal: lose ten pounds before the Winter Formal. But the diet leads to a binge-purge cycle that ultimately becomes anorexia when the girls stop eating altogether. Jennifer's "diet tips" include chewing gum when they're hungry, or eating a piece of lettuce instead of a meal. The girls waste away, are unable to concentrate on school and can barely finish a volleyball game due to low energy levels. Not until Jennifer collapses and is killed by a car, does Lexi realize that her diet is in actuality an eating disorder.      So begins the long, arduous task of recovery. Lexi's mother, played by audience favorite Lynda Carter, must first accept the painful truth that her "perfect" daughter has a problem. Then she dedicates herself to Lexi's recovery slowly helping Lexi relearn how to eat. At the same time, she must battle her ex-husband (Josh Taylor, 90210), who wants Lexi hospitalized and force-fed. Together, mother and daughter find the strength to survive and fight the disease that almost tore them apart.
