Product Information
`I can tell you exactly the day it all went wrong - the day my mum tried to chop my dad's penis off.' When Tina's mother attacked her father in horrifying,premeditated style as revenge for an affair, Tina's life changed forever. As her family fell apart at the seams, the weight of responsibility to care for her siblings fell onTina's shoulders. The one thing left in her life she could control was food,and so she began the biggest fight of her life. As anorexia-induced starvation took its toll, she dropped to a life-threatening 4 stone, determined to die. A shocking visit from her father proved the turning point in her fight to live. Though there are several books on the subject of anorexia, this is unique in its depiction of the root cause,chronicling the inner mind of a child's reaction to a cataclysmic family breakdown.Product Identifiers

I’d highly recommend this book
I’ve read many Eating disorder books & this book is the most honest book I have ever read. It was gut wrenching & heartbreaking at times but the raw honesty of how anorexia takes over your whole life & the impact it has on everyone around you. I couldn’t put the book down & it gave me so hope that one day I’ll be free from this life destroying conditionVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

I found this book gave me an understanding of what it was like to be anorexic and indeed how it can happen to anyone in the face adversity. Anorexia is not about wanting to lose weight.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
