Editorial Reviews

Review

Read these stories and be encouraged; you will see the journey of healing can be made! Andrea brings us all together so we remember we are not alone. There is Hope. --Gregory L. Jantz, Ph.D. Bestselling Author, Speaker, Therapist, and Founder of The Center for Counseling and Health Resources

This is a powerful collection of hopes, dreams, despair... and victories! They are all war stories, written by survivors. Thank you to Andrea and to each of the people who share their journeys with eating disorders. I started this book and read it all the way through. It reminded me of so many of the stages that I went through for thirty years, struggling with my eating disorder all alone. Back then, no one talked about it, and I had no role models to know that recovery is even possible! Well, now I am living proof that it is... and that life can be fabulous once you give up Perfect. If you or someone you know needs help, please speak up and tell someone. Don't settle for less than wonderful in your life. And don't give up five minutes before the miracle! --Barbara Niven. Actress, Speaker, Coach, and Eating Disorder Victim turned Warrior

Andrea Roe's Volume 2 of You Are Not Alone and CD companion is a wonderful gift to everyone who has ever encountered, suffered, and recovered from an eating disorder. Through music, prose, and poetry this book and CD give all suffering with eating disorders inspiration and clarity to seek recovery. As a person who has struggled and recovered with an eating disorder, reading this book inspired me to become more aware of my own recovery. Andrea Roe's book gives many different voices to eating disorders and this book and CD will make those who are in the midst of struggling know they are not alone. This book and CD should be in every treatment center. --Stacey Prussman. Comedian, Actress, Speaker, and Eating Disorder Advocate

More About the Author

Andrea Roe is an author and speaker whose mission is to show individuals struggling with an eating disorder that they are not alone and that, yes, recovery IS possible.

Why Eating Disorders? Because for six years, she was a slave to them herself. Initially, it started as Anorexia and after a while, turned into full-blown Bulimia. It was these behaviors that caused her to lose her friends, alienate her family and ultimately withdraw from society.

She attributes her recovery to the people in her life who supported her through the process. It wasn't always easy, but through them, it was finally possible.

That's what set her on her mission.

In October 2006, she released her first book, "You Are Not Alone: The Book of Companionship For Women Struggling With Eating Disorders". Featuring the inspirational stories of 34 different women from around the world who had faced an eating disorder, the book was designed to act as a support tool for all those who felt alone and useless to the world.

Positive feedback from the first volume encouraged her to team up with fellow eating disorder survivor and award-winning singer, Shannon Cutts, for a second book, You Are Not Alone, Volume 2 (with Companion CD).

In addition to her book, Andrea has created an monthly e-newsletter called the "You Are Not Alone Support Letter" which now has several thousand regular readers and contributors.

In 2007, Andrea started setting up local eating disorder support groups in her local community. She also started speaking to schools and treatment centers in Canada and the US about eating disorders and how to develop a healthy body image.

As a result of her work, Andrea was awarded "Woman of the Year" by her local community in 2007, for her commitment to working with the local youth to overcome this dangerous mental disorder. She has also been featured in national and international publications as a result of her work.

Now it is her goal to continue to share her story, her knowledge and her healing message with all those who need it - mainly that You Are Not Alone and that Recovery IS Possible!

This review is from: You Are Not Alone Volume 2 (Paperback)
One of the major barriers to recovery from eating problems is loss of hope. This book will inspire you to overcome your eating problems no matter whether you're only contemplating beginning the work, have just started, or are in the midst of transformation. I recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational Read, October 2, 2009
This review is from: You Are Not Alone Volume 2 (Paperback)
You Are Not Alone Volume 2 is filled with inspiration and hope that anyone with an eating disorder will relate to. This book includes brutally honest personal stories and content that will help individuals focus on positive things--they can float in the freedom of a poem, song or lyric. This is a refreshing angle of support for individuals who are still lost in the sea of confusion, looking for a life raft.
