Publisher's Summary

Millions of families are affected by eating disorders, which usually strike young women between the ages of fourteen and twenty. But current medical practice ties these families' hands when it comes to helping their children recover. Conventional medical wisdom dictates separating the patient from the family and insists that 'it's not about the food', even as a family watches a child waste away before their eyes. In Brave Girl Eating Harriet Brown describes how her family, with the support of an open-minded pediatrician and a therapist, helped her daughter recover from anorexia using a family-based treatment developed at the Maudsley Hospital in London. Chronicling her daughter Kitty's illness from the earliest warning signs, through its terrifying progression, and on toward recovery, Brown takes us on one family's journey into the world of anorexia nervosa, where starvation threatened her daughter's body and mind. Brave Girl Eating is essential listening for families and professionals alike, a guiding light for anyone who's coping with this devastating disease.

important listen

This book is for readers of all genders. Don't let the "women" category turn you away. This is an enlightening account of a taboo but not so uncommon disease that's exacerbated by stigma and how it's treated in our healthcare systems north and south of the border. By listening, we can help our families and those around us, whether near or far. Brave and sincere account and narration by the author. Thank you so, so much for this book.

Spoken from my heart.

Living with anorexia through my daughter, I found myself in every word. Truthful, precise, authentic.
