En savoir plus sur le livre

A harrowing yet inspiring true story reveals a family's struggle to save their daughter, offering insights through actual diary excerpts from a mother and daughter. Linda Rio, a psychologist and family therapist, faces her worst nightmare as she helps other families while failing to recognize her own daughter's dangerous eating disorder. Tara, overwhelmed by school pressures, feels the disorder consuming her but cannot break free. After a suicide attempt, she is hospitalized, and the journals chronicle their parallel experiences—mother and daughter living together yet perceiving their reality in vastly different ways. This narrative not only provides a glimpse into their ordeal but also offers hope and guidance for others facing similar challenges. Included are expert insights from Craig Johnson, Ph.D., who helps readers identify and address anorexia and bulimia within their own families. Linda Rio has over 15 years of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist in Southern California, while Tara shares her journey by speaking about her teenage struggles with eating disorders and body image. Craig Johnson, Ph.D., directs the eating disorders program at Laureate Psychiatric Hospital and is actively involved in raising awareness and prevention efforts.
