"Brave Girl Eating" is the story of Harriet Brown's struggle to help her daughter beat anorexia. It was a moving portrayal of what this disease does to a family and how it affects each member differently. I thought this book was well written and provided a good bit of factual information about the disease. As I read it I thought of my own daughter who at the age of 7 has a healthy relationship with food but this book illustrated to me how quickly and unexpectedly that can change.

It was a moving portrayal of what this disease does to a family and how it affects each member differently. I thought this book was well written and provided a good bit of factual information about the disease. As I read it I thought of my own daughter who at the age of 7 has a healthy relationship with food but this book illustrated to me how quickly and unexpectedly that can change. I hope that I will never have to use the tips I learned in this book to help my own child, but I am grateful to Harriet Brown for sharing them with me.
Review One This is a book written by a mother for mothers. It is the story of a loving, well-educated and unusually sensible mother. Review Two This is the story of a mother who finds herself in a situation no mother wants. Brown is the mother of a daughter who won't eat, the mother of a daughter who is at risk of dying from anorexia nervosa. She is also a mother who discovers the medical profession and in particular the psychiatric profession is ill-equipped to step in and provide her and her family with what they so desperately need - effective and compassionate treatment.

I wish this book was written by Kitty's point of view. I think it would have been more interesting and much more real. But, I'm sure she is just as irritating as her mother. From her mothers descriptions she sure sounds like it.
I'm pretty sure I read the same information regurgitated multiple times through out this book. Just with a different combination of big words she used to try and sound smart. I could really care less about doctors studies from the 60's. Tell me about now. Things change.
Why would you deny your daughter treatment? Especially when she asked for it!? And what the hell kind of name is Kitty. Seriously. You're just asking for her to be a stripper.
oh. And why the hell do you refer to your daughter as a demon?! Who does that?? A crazy person does! She is not a demon, she is your goddamn child. Treat her like one. Teenagers are moody. Get over it. Don't treat her like she's a piece of shit you smeared with your shoe. She is a person. A living, breathing person with feelings. Not a freakin demon. Get over yourself.
There is so much about this book that just frustrates the crap out of me. I can't stand it.
I wouldn't recommend this book. Not unless you want to be pissed off by the end of it. ( )
