Hope for Recovery- Stories of Healing from Eating Disorders

Co-editors Catherine Brown, a writer, and Christina Tinker, are among the 60% of people who have recovered from eating disorders. To help others who struggle, they have co-edited and contributed to a compilation of essays by women and men who have recovered from eating disorders.

The book's diverse essays emphasize each writer's journey to recovery, providing hope for individuals suffering from an eating disorder and their loved ones. In addition the book includes insights from mental health professionals on topics such as how families can help loved ones affected by eating disorders and males with eating disorders.

A portion of the proceeds of Hope for Recovery: Stories of Healing From Eating Disorders will be donated to local and national eating disorder organizations
