As a nationally ranked high school runner, nobody seemed to notice
that Amber Sayer's weight was dropping just as fast as her finish
times. "PR" is a sports chronicle, a coming of age story, and a
cautionary report of one runner's simultaneous decent into anorexia
and rise in the high school track and cross-country rankings. Her
honest account of a distressingly common problem among high school
and collegiate athletes takes readers through the disease's
progression and its unsettling parallels with her burgeoning
running career. After losing more than she ever anticipated, and
incurring permanent physical and emotional damage, Sayer struggles
to overcome her severe case of anorexia and the sport's culture in
which eating disorders and their increasing prevalence remain
dangerously taboo.
