Hope and Other Luxuries: A Mother's Life with a Daughter's Anorexia

As heard on NPR's Diane Rehm Show!
Clare Dunkle seemed to have an ideal lifeâ€”two beautiful, high-achieving teenage daughters, a loving husband, and a satisfying and successful career as a children's book novelist. But it's when you let down your guard that the ax falls. Just after one daughter successfully conquered her depression, another daughter developed a life-threatening eating disorder. Co-published with Elena Vanishing, the memoir of her daughter, this is the storyâ€”told in brave, beautifully written, and unflinchingly honest proseâ€”of one family's fight against a deadly disease, from an often ignored but important perspective: the mother of the anorexic.
