Story
This is the story of a beautiful, young woman — a talented athlete and musician, raised in a loving home, surrounded by friends — undermined by a ruthless inner voice that claimed her body and her spirit. Emilee: The Story of a Girl and Her Family Hijacked by Anorexia reveals the cracks in our health care system, the institutions we are taught to trust, as well as our own prejudices and misinformation about eating disorders, mental illness, and addiction.

Reviewed: 11-21-24
I initially was frustrated and distracted by editing and narration distractions, but I didn't mind during the last 40% of the book. I was too emotionally invested in the perspectives of both parents and Emilee. Be prepared to feel all of your feelings with this book.
As a behavioral health RN today, I am glad that in ways, it seems much has improved since 2016 regarding eating disorder recognition and treatment modalities. The struggle for access to treatment and insurance intricacies sound familiar, but also grey improved after
Thank you for sharing Emilee's story with the world. I agree that this is a story every medical proffessional should read.
