"This book is a unique compilation of stories, poems, art and even song lyrics from women suffering or recovering from eating disorders and related issues. What this wonderful collection of women amply illustrates is the global nature of the problem and how it does not discriminate by race, age or indeed gender. The author has given a voice to women of all ages and from countries across the globe including the US, Canada, Netherlands, UK and New Zealand to name a few.”
