Book Reviews of Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders
Book Review: Comprehensive and Inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my absolute favorite ED recovery book. Amy's story is so full of hope. She works hard to dispel many of the myths surrounding ED recovery - particularly the myth that you can never recover and live a normal life. Thank you Amy for writing Gaining! I am looking forward to re-reading Gaining this year to write a review for my blog.

Summary of Gaining: The Truth About Life After Eating Disorders
Aimee Liu, who wrote Solitaire, the first-ever memoir of anorexia, in 1979, returns to the subject nearly three decades later and shares her story and those of the many women in her age group of life beyond this life-altering ailment. She has extensively researched the origins and effects of both anorexia and bulimia, and dispels many commonly held myths about these diseases with the persuasive conclusion that anorexia is a result of personality.Key revelations include: the temperament required for eating disorders,the long-term effects of eating disorders on health, brain function, relationships and career,why some individuals recover while others relapse, and why many relapse in mid-life,Which treatment approaches are most successful long-term and how parents can tell if a child will be vulnerable to eating disorders.
Using her own experience and the stories of many recovering anorexics she's interviewed, Liu weaves together a narrative that is both persuasive in argument and compelling in personal details.
