Emilee: The Story of a Girl and Her Family Hijacked by Anorexia

By John Mazur, Emilee Mazur, Linda Mazur

This is the story of a beautiful young woman-a talented athlete and musician, raised in a loving home, surrounded by friends-undermined by a ruthless inner voice that claimed her body and her spirit. Emilee: The Story of a Girl and Her Family Hijacked by Anorexia reveals the cracks in our health care system, the institutions we are taught to trust, as well as our own prejudices and misinformation about eating disorders, mental illness, and addiction.

Through the use of parallel narrative, Linda and John Mazur provide an intimate and realistic account of how their world was turned upside down by anorexia nervosa. A must-read for physicians, therapists, and social workers, or anyone who wants to learn more about how to respond more compassionately to families and patients caught in the web of this cruel disease.
