Cynthia Rowland was an outwardly vivacious and successful television news reporter, who inwardly had slipped into the depths of bulimia. An addiction to binging and purging and heavy doses of laxatives finally landed her in treatment. The Monster Within tells the story of her descent into sickness, her struggle to learn why she was engaging in slow suicide, and the courage and grace it took to get well. This updated edition includes a section of answers to some of the common questions the author is asked about bulimia. Anyone suffering from an eating disorder (there are eight million bulimics in America alone), as well as parents, friends, counselors, and pastors will find hope and help through this engaging true life story.

Cynthia Rowland apparently suffered from bulimia for twelve years. The book opens with a brief description of her bingeing and purging routine and quickly moves on to a Christian rehab facility setting. The whole book is about Cynthia's experience in rehab. All she does is whine, cry, and blame others. She develops a crush on a married patient and forms friendships with several teenagers and otherwise acts like a child instead of a twenty-eight year old woman. Her therapist, Mike, is abusive and frankly I find his techniques disturbing. He repeatedly calls Cynthia "damaged freight" and encourages her to act like a child. He also encourages her to blame her eating disorder on her parents and her brother rather than taking responsibility for herself.
It's sad how misunderstood bulimia and anorexia were in the 1980s. (
