Her twenties are marked by yo-yo dieting, depressive episodes, and a sadistic shrink who dubs her the boy who cried wolf. Then, just as Lerner begins to realize her dream of becoming a writer, entering Columbia's prestigious MFA program, she spirals into a suicidal depression and lands at New York State Psychiatric Institute. There, a young doctor helps her take her first steps toward selfhood and unraveling the dual legacy of compulsion and depression.
A powerfully rendered story for anyone who has every wielded a fork in despair or calculated her worth on the morning scale.
