| Description: |
A journey through, and succesfully out of, twenty years of anorexia. Alison's compelling autobiography reveals how this 'promising' thirteen-year-old became entrapped in the turmoil that accompanies -or maybe helps to generate - anorexia, and the tumultuous and bumpy journey away from this 'fate'. |
| Synopsis: |
A journey through, and succesfully out of, twenty years of anorexia. It wasn't just 'losing weight' that mattered to Alison - it was losing flesh, losing her whole physical being. Then - and only then - might she avoid the terrifying prospect so frequently threatened by her mother: that she would "...end up on the scrap-heap". Alison's compelling auto-biography reveals how this 'promising' thirteen-year-old became entrapped in the turmoil that accompanies - or maybe helps to generate - anorexia, and the tumultuous and bumpy journey away from this 'fate'. Unlike other stories of recovery, Alison's is written many years after finding her 'freedom'. It therefore offers, perhaps, a more reflective, mature and long-term perspective on this ever more widely encountered torment. Further Information and background to the book and illness are available at www.robinswood.co.uk. |
