My hope in writing this memoir is to provide insight and new understanding about the multi-layered facets of what an eating disorder is really all about. It took a particularly frightening wake-up call as to the devastation that anorexia had done to my body: severe osteoporosis, damage to my neck which left me in constant pain, dangerously low heart rate, and dizzy spells, before I finally put the romance of wasting away to rest forever. My story is one in which I share my travels to reality's darker side – an inner and outer hell – and my decision to find my way back on my own terms. Why would a woman enter into a torrid affair with hunger, over-exercise, and death? Through seven treatment center stays, endless therapy, and the loss of a potential wedding to my fiancé, the loss of friends, jobs, and all sense of what it means to be "normal," I embraced anorexia.

I don't know much about anorexia and learned a lot. It was a very sad book, I cried thru parts of it but it ends on a note that shows the human spirit with Gods help can conquer adversity.
