About this listen

A loving mother. A perfect family. A shock wave that could shatter everything.

Freya Braithwaite knows she is lucky. Nineteen years of marriage to a man who still warms her soul and two beautiful teenage daughters to show for it: confident Charlotte and thoughtful Lexi. Her home is filled with love and laughter.

But when Lexi's struggles with weight take control of her life, everything Freya once took for granted falls apart, leaving the whole family with a sense of helplessness that can only be confronted with understanding, unity and, above all, love.

In this compelling and heart-wrenching new work by bestselling author Amanda Prowse, one ordinary family tackles unexpected difficulties and discovers that love can find its way through life's darkest moments.

So enlightening.

So enlightening as to the terrible struggles and effects of anorexia, both on the sufferer, but also their family. A very heart wrenching and so at times a difficult listen, but totally absorbing. Thank you Amanda for educating me.

Amazing read

Any additional comments?

This book touches on the emotional struggle that families go through when a member is suffering from an eating disorder. It was very sensitively written and I will most certainly be recommending it to friends.
