Stephanie Covington Armstrong does not fit the stereotype of a
woman with an eating disorder. She grew up poor and hungry in the
inner city. Foster care, sexual abuse, and overwhelming insecurity
defined her early years. But the biggest difference is her race:
Stephanie is black. In this moving first-person narrative,
Armstrong describes her struggle as a black woman with a disorder
consistently portrayed as a white woman's problem. Trying to escape
her selfhatred and her food obsession by never slowing down,
Stephanie becomes trapped in a downward spiral. Finally, she can no
longer deny that she will die if she doesn't get help, overcome her
shame, and conquer her addiction to using food as a weapon against
herself. For more information about the book and eating disorders,
