Susan’s story will be familiar to many readers, not only those who struggle with eating disorders or self-destructive behaviours, but also their loved ones who helplessly watch on. The feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger, shame, secrecy and of being misunderstood are detailed from the perspective of one who has experienced it and not only survived but has flourished.
This book has much to commend it. Written in an easy to read and extremely sensitive style, it touches on the root causes of Susan’s struggle, and her path to freedom, found by the persistence of wise friends and through her own faith journey. Ultimately, this story’s message is that we are created for freedom and freedom is found in truth.

Writer and blogger, Susan Brown, has a passion to see people walking in freedom, identity and purpose. Whether in her work as an occupational therapist, raising her four children, speaking to groups or offering learning support to children and teens, her desire has always been to help people thrive. A strong believer in the power of authenticity, Susan often shares her struggles, failures and learnings with others, offering understanding and support as they work through their own challenges. When she’s not writing or working, Susan’s favourite way to relax is to immerse herself in a good story, preferably while reclined in a deep, gently swaying hammock. In her more energetic moments, she plunges herself into gardening, cooking, walking local trails with her husband or playing in the waves at the nearest surf beach. After twenty-five years in Launceston, Tasmania, Susan has recently moved to Wollongong, south of Sydney, where she lives with her husband, Mark, and three of their children.
