The Time in Between A Memoir of Hunger and Hope

When Nancy Tucker was eight years old, her class had to write about what they wanted in life. She thought, and thought, and then, though she didn't know why, she wrote: "I want to be thin." Over the next twelve years, she developed anorexia nervosa, was hospitalized, and finally swung the other way towards bulimia nervosa. Told with remarkable insight, dark humour, and acute intelligence, this is a profound, important window into the workings of an unquiet mind. Print run 7,500.
