Brave Girl Eating: A Family's Struggle with Anorexia by Harriet Brown
5.0
I used to have an eating disorder, orthorexia (an obsession with healthy eating), that remained relatively hidden. I appreciate that the author took the time to share such a personal story, and I found it a touching account of how having an eating disorder affects the people around you.
I notice that more cynical reviews blame the mother for the daughter's problem. Family circumstances and environment do contribute to the development of eating disorders, but it's not entirely fair to villainize the mother. These problems are hard to notice and fix, and ultimately, only the daughter can cure her own eating disorder.
