Hi everyone,
This is my first blog for the year so I thought I'd start with a real winner.  The book is written by an Australian woman named Amanda Webster and the topic is anorexia.  Amanda's son Riche developed anorexia when he was 11 years old.  The story tells of Amanda's agonising journey to save Riche's life as well as being a mother to two other children and a wife to her husband Kevin. 

The anorexia consumed Riche so much that he believed that he could gain calories by touching people, by them floating through the air, or by him being in the vacinity of food.  The book also focuses on the treatment of anorexia and the lack of understand from the medical establishment. 

This book is a must for anyone who loves an emotional read.  Don't expect to have dry eyes at the end.  SDV
