Customer Reviews

Moving beyond past trauma

I enjoyed the book as it revolved around the mind working to cope with stressors. Anorexia, a maladaptive coping mechanism, does not claim its victim. The triumph was visible as well as the hard work involved in full recovery. The book let the reader see that recovery is a long path that does not include just the eating disorder. It provided the hope that life goes on with the ED, but it takes on other aspects and becomes fuller.
