Kid Rex: The Inspiring True Account of a Life Salvaged From Dispair, Anorexia and Dark Days in New York City

Description

The story of one woman's struggle to overcome anorexia. After knowing other friends with the disorder and being baffled by their behaviour, Moisin suddenly found herself prone to the same disease. At the same time, she learnt how to deceive her therapist to allow her to continue being anorexic. When she recognises that she has a serious problem, though, she finally looks for help - Kid Rex is a book of hope and self-realisation. Written as much for those who are suffering the disease as those who are simply interested in it, it is vital reading.

Laura Moisin was born in Bucharest, Romania, and has lived in Calgary, Toronto, Chicago, and Boston and is currently finishing her degree at New York University. She lives in New York.

"A heartwrenching, honest and beautiful book written by someone who has been there and has lived to tell about it." --"Bookshipper" "An inspirational book for anyone else dealing with similar dangerous behaviours." --"Shelf Life" "Harrowing and always candid, Moisin draws a clear map of her anorexic mind and heart. A book for survivors of anorexia, as well those who want to understand a completely misrepresented and misunderstood disease." --Ibi Kaslik, author, "Skinny"
