Self harm and eating disorders
Posted May 28th, 2007 by clare
Just finished an amazing book called 'Secret Scars' - true story of a woman's descent into self harm and anorexia and how she overcome it, with a lot of help from God and friends at church, over a number of years. She now counsels others with these problems. I know the person who wrote it from college but I had no idea of the extent of what she's been through. It's extremely well described and I could relate to some of her feelings despite never having self harmed (or even dieted!) It also made me cry at least twice. Read this book! I might try and post a full book review on the site if anyone is interested.

Giver of hope
I have not finished the book yet - I am about 2/3 through and I would recommend it to you. If you have had some issue with self harm or eating disorders it gives hope that it is possible to break through. Last night I had to force myself to put it down (I needed to go to sleep.)
