I found this book through the NAU Cline Library Database. This book was written by a recovered anorexic, and is about anorexia through the eyes of those who suffer from it. It is an insightful book for families and friends of sufferers. The book goes through several different people who struggle with this issue and their own experiences with the disease. (Including the progression of the disease, the effect it had on their families, the treatment they received, and their perceived reasons for developing the illness.)
