“Advance Praise for Diary of an Anorexic Girl I found this story eye-opening and hopeful, teaching a lesson of love, forgiveness and hope to parents and young people everywhere, while experiencing some very real issues in life. Highly recommended.”
“Morgan Menzie writes the most believable and realistic book about teenage girls I’ve ever read. Honestly examining what every teen girl experiences as she goes through a discovery process with boys, self-image, jealousies, dieting, getting noticed, and most importantly, anorexia, this book speaks to every girl’s heart. Read it. It will touch you deeply and change you forever.”
“I was moved by Morgan's accurate and harrowing portrayal of the insidious nature of living with an eating disorder. Her writing illuminates the twists and distortions that one’s mind can take in trying to obtain an illusory perfection. . . . This is important reading for parents, teachers, counselors and all young persons coping with living in a world that creates unreal expectations.”
“. . . Morgan has written a powerful book that reaches into what many view as an aberration, Christian young women dealing with a serious self-deprecating disease. She brings sagacity into the phenomenon by showing how a healthy Christian girl can fall susceptible susceptible to the horrors of anorexia and the miracle that comes when healing begins. I believe this book will be a tremendous source of insight, inspiration and healing for all who read it.”
