Elena Vanishing: A Memoir

By Elena Dunkle and Clare B. Dunkle

Book Overview

This is the story of seventeen-year-old Elena, whose armor against anxiety becomes artillery against herself as she battles on both sides of a lose-lose war in a struggle with anorexia. Told entirely from Elena's perspective and co-written with her mother, Elena's memoir is a fascinating and intimate look at a deadly disease, and a must-read for anyone who knows someone suffering from an eating disorder.

Customer Reviews

i laughed, i cried.... and no, im not exaggerating

Its hard reviewing this without spoiling it, but Elena had an incredible journey and I stayed up until 4am reading it absolutely in tears. Its incredibly relatable especially if you're a woman with similar traumas.
