Society turns a blind eye to people with eating disorders as they
are often considered as merely seeking attention. This is extremely
ignorant as it goes way beyond that,' says Finding Sarah's troubled
but captivating protagonist, 26-year-old Sarah Picton. For more
than nine years, Sarah has been purging her food in any place she
can find: public toilets, plastic bags, coffee mugs. When she
couldn't satisfy her bulimic addiction, she restricted her diet to
the point that she weighed only 41 kilograms, a weight better
suited to a girl less than half her age. She has lost teeth and her
gag reflex. She has lost her energy and her friends. She has come
close to losing her life. But then she decided to do something
about it. Sarah reveals her story in brutally honest detail to
author Joanne Jowell, setting herself on a path of enlightenment
for herself, her family and anyone who might hear her story. No
holds are barred as Sarah describes the selfishness of the illness,
the shame surrounding her condition, and the deceptive ends to
which she will go to hide her addiction. Along the way, Joanne
meets the players in this story, including Sarah's mother, friends,
ex-boyfriend and psychiatrist. And, of course, there is Sarah
herself - cowed but not beaten, searching for herself even as the
author does, sharing her life story so that she can reach out to
the countless others who suffer in the shadow of addiction.
