A memoir of one woman's obsession with food sets the author's love/hate relationship with food against her painful longing for a family, love, and a sense of belonging.

A True Story

Fat Girl

Paige Leitner

I imagined that people thought, when they looked at Carl, holding my hand and chatting with me, "That's his little girl." I felt proud to be alive with him.

All I will do here is tell my story. I will not supply windbag notions about what's wrong with me. You will figure that out. I will tell you only what I know about myself, which is not all that much.

Absolutely heart-wrenching. This book puts into words so many horrible truths about love, relationships, fatness, and more. It's incredibly hard to read for it talks about chuld abuse, SA, and eating disorders. However, it's refreshingly honest and raw. It feels like being inside the authors mind.
