Mel Ellis knows that her eating disorder is ruining her life.
Everyone tells her rehab is her best option, but she can't bring
herself to go. Broken and empty in more ways than one, Mel makes
one last-ditch effort to make hers a story worth telling. She will
walk her own road to recovery along the lesser-known trails of the
North American wilderness. Though she is physically and mentally
unprepared to face the difficulties that lay ahead, she sets off on
foot from Grand Rapids, Michigan, and heads toward Mount Rainier
National Park in Washington State. During the long journey, she
meets strangers with their own stories, as well as ghosts from her
past who can no longer be ignored. But though the land she travels
threatens her success at every turn, it's her own dark thoughts
she'll have to overcome in order to find peace in the life and the
body she has been given. With pitch-perfect timing and delightfully
witty self-awareness, debut author Autumn Lytle masterfully leads
readers on a journey down the hard path toward healing. *** "All
That Fills Us is a compelling drama of the complex battle with the
debilitating longing for perfection as enacted through a severe
eating disorder. Told in an equally raw and wry first-person
narration, this tale bears powerful witness to how the individual's
quest for wellness is necessary groundwork for collective
healing."--Booklist "Lytle draws on her own experience with eating
disorders to take readers inside Mel's mind and misguided thinking
about her own worth and health."--Library Journal
