In this happily-ever-after tale, author Debi Lewis learns how to
feed her mysteriously unwell daughter, falling in love with food in
the process. For many parents, feeding their children is easy and
instinctive, either an afterthought or a mindless task like laundry
and driving the carpool. For others, though, it is on the same
spectrum in which Debi Lewis found herself: part of what felt like
an endless slog to move her daughter from failure-to-thrive to
something that looked, if not like thriving, at least like
survival. The emotional weight of not being able to feed one's
child feels like a betrayal of the most basic aspect of nurturing.
While every faux matzo ball, every protein-packed smoothie that
tasted like a milkshake, every new lentil dish that her daughter
liked made Lewis's spirit rise, every dish pushed away made it
sink. Kitchen Medicine: How I Fed My Daughter out of Failure to
Thrive tells the story of how Lewis made her way through mothering
and feeding a sick child, aided by Lewis' growing confidence in
front of the stove. It's about how she eventually saw her role as
more than caretaker and fighter for her daughter's health and how
she had to redefine what mothering--and feeding--looked like once
her daughter was well. This is the story of learning to feed a
child who can't seem to eat. It's the story of growing love for
food, a mirror for people who cook for fuel and those who cook for
love; for those who see the miracle in the growing child and in the
fresh peach; for matzo-ball lovers and the gluten-intolerant; and
for parents who want to feed their kids without starving their
souls.
