She has been writing, editing, revising, and rewriting the book in her (very minimal) spare time for the past six years. Mostly in the early hours of the morning in a coffee induced haze. Lee is also completing a book called True Companion, which is co-authored by her husband of fourteen years, Chris Blum. Chris, a high school strength and conditioning coach and personal trainer, was a keynote speaker at the National Eating Disorder convention in 2009 and served on the advisory board for the National Eating Disorder Association. Chris and Lee are frequently asked to speak at conferences together sharing our inspirational story. They are writing True Companion together sharing their struggles and joys along the journey of Lee's recovery targeting the book to husbands, spouses, and loved ones of those struggling with an eating disorder. Lee's third (and another un-published) book is titled Yes. There is Hope.- A survival guide for those struggling with an eating disorder.
