Synopsis
Kate Chisholm was 24 when she was first hospitalized with anorexia nervosa. At the time she desperately wanted to eat but had lost the ability to do so; locked in her solitary battle with food, she had come to see it as the enemy, the means of her destruction. This is a different sort of anorexia book. "My Hungry Hell" is not simply about recovery. Journeying back into the mindset of her 24-year-old self, Kate seeks to relive the experience of anorexia and, with the help of those suffering from the disease now, to explain its cruel contradictions.
