A unique eating-disorder memoir written by a mother and daughter.
Unbeknownst to food critic Sheila Himmel-as she reviewed exotic
cuisines from bistro to brasserie- her daughter, Lisa, was at home
starving herself. Before Sheila fully grasped what was happening,
her fourteen-year-old with a thirst for life and a palate for the
flavors of Vietnam and Afghanistan was replaced by a
weight-obsessed, antisocial, hundredpound nineteen-year-old. From
anorexia to bulimia and back again-many times-the Himmels feared
for Lisa's life as her disorder took its toll on her physical and
emotional well-being.
"Hungry" is the first memoir to connect eating disorders with a
food-obsessed culture in a very personal way, following the
stumbles, the heartbreaks, and even the funny moments as a
mother-daughter relationship-and an entire family-struggles toward
healing.
