The story and journey of one family
This is not a booktrail but a journey into the devastating condition that is anorexia. How it affects the person suffering and how it affects the entire family. It’s not just about not eating but the secrets and lies which go with it. With the things that no-one talks about and no one dare mention. How parents can brush things under the carpet and not see what’s in front of them.
Anorexia is often a misunderstood illness and this book takes you on the journey of seeing it though the eyes of those who suffer from it and with it. They say you can’t begin to understand something or someone until you’ve walked in their shoes. This book might just open up your eyes.
