In this open, honest memoir, writer Allison M. Tea shares her two-decades-long journey of eating disorder recovery. From her time as a student at an Oregon college to the year she spends as a missionary in Cochabamba, Bolivia, Allie's adventuresome life story is not just about battling her inner shame about food, weight and body image. It's also a powerful narrative about healing from childhood sexual assault, suggesting that at the core of many addictions, there's deep trauma that can be defeated with help from professionals, hard work, and most importantly, faith in God.
