This is an extraordinarily honest & insightful account of a frighteningly real disorder--bulimia nervosa. Especially compelling is Ms. Krikorian's description of its impact not only on herself but also, unavoidably, on her two pregnancies. I recommend it highly for those who work in the field of eating disorders & for those suffering from this disorder themselves. Debra L. Safer, MD, Psychiatrist. Angel Mommy is a moving & compelling account of the nightmarish world of bulimia, one which few people experience firsthand. The author has the courage to allow her readers entrance into this world & the desperate struggle, at times one of life or death, in which she has been engaged for most of her life. A normal, bright & attractive teenager, she gradually slipped into the cycle of binging & purging which became the driving force of her existence & which threatened not only her life, but the lives of her unborn children. Ultimately, it is the love for her son & daughter which has given her the courage to live & to write this sensitive & inspiring book, which provides a testament to the strength of the human spirit. -Roberta Tennant Editor-in-Chief, Falcon Books.
