Description
Laura Freeman's journey to recovery from anorexia is one of unexpected solace in literature. Her love of reading played a crucial role in her healing process, helping her re-discover the joy of food and life. At 14, diagnosis with anorexia seemed like a dead end, but the appetite she never lost was for books. As Laura slowly rebuilt her relationship with food, one book at a time, she found a way to reconnect with the world around her. This memoir is a powerful exploration of the healing power of literature and the human spirit's capacity for resilience.
