Why would a 45-year-old wife and mother of two children voluntarily starve herself? How does it feel to be anorexic? What drives a person to such perfectionism, yet such hopelessness? What does hospital treatment involve, and is recovery even possible? Read this memoire and find out. This book will help you understand that eating disorders are not about food, but rather misplaced emotions. A must-read for anyone suffering from an eating disorder, as well as family and friends who want to gain understanding into why their well-intentioned pleas to `Just eat more` are not helpful.
