Description
Nikki Grahame's life story is a heart-wrenching account of her battle with anorexia nervosa. From the age of eight, she was plagued by feelings of insecurity and self-doubt, which ultimately led to her developing a severe eating disorder. Over the next decade, she was in and out of institutions, undergoing multiple treatments and hospitalizations, including a 14-day sedation period to help her regain a healthy weight. Nikki's experiences with anorexia are shocking and disturbing, yet she shares them with unflinching honesty, revealing the complex and often desperate measures she took to cope with her illness. With remarkable candour, she recounts her struggles with the eating disorder, including the ways in which she manipulated her body and surroundings to maintain her weight. This is a deeply personal and thought-provoking memoir that sheds light on the complexities of anorexia nervosa and the long-term impact it can have on a person's life.
