My Dinner Party: A Healing Journey

This beautiful fable of a healing journey from disordered eating is told with vivid art and uplifting prose to inspire and remind others they're not alone.

I'm having a dinner party. I invited my oldest friends. The first guest to arrive is Perfection. Criticism arrives shortly after. Blame and Shame show up, side by side. Soon, there is another knock at the door...It's my new friends: Compassion, Grace, Love, and even Forgiveness. I welcome them all to stay at my table.

Author Elise Wrolstad was a collegiate athlete, but the weekly weigh-ins required by her coach sent her spiraling into a cycle of starvation and binge eating. Through My Dinner Party: A Healing Journey, she hopes to let others suffering from eating disorders know they are not alone on their journey of healing.
