Feast or Famine is a book of hope and inspiration for sufferers of eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia and binge eating - and their friends and families. It includes the author's own story of battling anorexia when she was 18, as well as personal stories from other sufferers. There are interviews with specialists in the field and a comprehensive look at the current treatments on offer. It discusses the varied risk factors that trigger these mental illnesses and how the beauty and fitness industries, advertising and media, propagate cultural ideas about thinness that often precipitate the development of eating problems. Written in a very accessible way, this will be a very helpful book both to young people with an eating disorder and also their parents. It provides honest stories and practical information.

Karen McMillan is the author of Unbreakable Spirit: Facing the challenge of cancer in NZ (Tandem) and Love in Aotearoa. She is also a survivor of anorexia.
