Enlightenment: Diary of an Eating Disorder (and How God Finally Got Rid of It)

Can God help me lose weight? Chronic binge eater and lifelong dieter Mollie Player wants to know—and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to find out. Based on her real-life journal, complete with all her denials, justifications, successes, failures and hair-brained quick-fix schemes, Enlightenment: Diary of an Eating Disorder (and How God Eventually Got Rid of It) is a candid look at a serious eating disorder, right as it unfolds. Though over the course of five deliciously self-absorbed months Player doesn’t get the answer she first sought, she will always be glad she asked the question. By the end of her journey, her eating disorder is a thing of the past, and she’s learned that sometimes it’s the question you should have asked, rather than the one you did, that really gets the attention of the Divine.
