Over the past few months, I was hunting for books about eating disorders but telling the story, not the science. I was not expecting to find a lot or really anything that I could culturally identify with as a black woman with body image issues/eating disorders. I enjoyed the book overall. I was transported to Stephanie C.A.'s world. I appreciate the honesty and rawness her story brings to the table. I feel like it is not talked about enough. In our communities, there is not enough belief in children putting their needs first. We are carrying the pain of those before us. Not knowing what is better. Going through more trauma. Sometimes never getting health. It costs us our lives in more ways than one. I am glad I found this gem. Thank you for your contribution.
