{"product_id":"saving-sara-sara-somers-9781631528460","title":"Saving Sara: A Memoir of Food Addiction","description":"For nearly fifty years, Sara Somers suffered from untreated food addiction. In this brutally honest and intimate memoir, Somers offers readers an inside view of a food addict's mind, showcasing her experiences of obsessive cravings, compulsivity, and powerlessness regarding food. \u003cem\u003eSaving Sara\u003c\/em\u003e chronicles Somers's addiction from childhood to adulthood, beginning with abnormal eating as a nine-year-old. As her addiction progresses in young adulthood, she becomes isolated, masking her shame and self-hatred with drugs and alcohol. Time and again, she rationalizes why this time will be different, only to have her physical cravings lead to ever-worse binges, to see her promises of doing things differently next time broken, and to experience the amnesia that she--like every addict--experiences when her obsession sets in again. Even after Somers is introduced to the solution that will eventually end up saving her, the strength of her addiction won't allow her to accept her disease. Twenty-six more years pass until she finally crawls on hands and knees back to that solution, and learns to live life on life's terms. A raw account of Somers's decades-long journey, \u003cem\u003eSaving Sara\u003c\/em\u003e underscores the challenges faced by food addicts of any age--and the hope that exists for them all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sara Somers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1631528467\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631528460\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e She Writes Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.43h x 5.43w x 0.87d","brand":"Sara Somers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994312737023,"sku":"9781631528460","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2ca5b7ed-1b2d-44a6-be5d-e24657d64a58.jpg?v=1683329400","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saving-sara-sara-somers-9781631528460","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
