Synopsis
Vibrant, talented, strong, and beautiful, Andrea Smeltzer seemed destined for a great future. But after a one-year struggle with bulimia, she died in her sleep at age 19, catapulting her mother Doris into a wrenching but ultimately rewarding journey of discovery. This unabashed account not only speaks about one family’s tragedy, but also critiques the social and personal attitudes toward our bodies and appearance that create victims like Andrea. Andrea's poetry and journal entries, combined with her mother's reflections, offer insight and understanding about a crushing disorder that afflicts far too many young people.

January 25, 2007: This book is a definite one to read so as to understand what an eating disorder truly is. An eating disorder is not about food but about abuse, and is unfortunately, 'shoved under the rug.' This book spells out the seriousness of an eating disorder and how deadly it is, how misunderstood it is. This is one book that every parent should read. It is quite an 'eye opener!' It is well written and to the point.
