Starving for Affection: A Journey of Eating Disorders, Drugs, and Sex (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781440111518)

Starving for Affection-a journey of eating disorders, drugs, and sex is based on a true story. Using a first-person narrative, it covers the period from a young girl's adolescence to her early twenties. It is a vivid retelling of how she dealt with being a fat girl in a society that celebrated thinness. Bulimia and amphetamines were her solution for over 15 years. They are graphically described and include the causes and effects of the twin addictions. Her secret has cost her years of her life. Her personal story is a cautionary tale for girls who will do anything to fit in, to be accepted, to be included in today's world of slender bodies
