Book Overview
Cynthia Rowland was an outwardly vivacious and successful television news reporter, who inwardly had slipped into the depths of bulimia. An addiction to binging and purging and heavy doses of laxatives finally landed her in treatment. The Monster Within tells the story of her descent into sickness, her struggle to learn why she was engaging in slow suicide, and the courage and grace it took to get well. This updated edition includes a section of answers to some of the common questions the author is asked about bulimia. Anyone suffering from an eating disorder (there are eight million bulimics in America alone), as well as parents, friends, counselors, and pastors will find hope and help through this engaging true life story.

A Riveting, Honest, and Brave Little Memoir of Bulimia!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Cynthia writes from the heart and her story held me in it's grasp from the first page. I was reminded that we women are more than our dress size and/or the shape of our thighs. We are dearly loved by God, and bulimia (which I've battled for over 5 years) does destroy lives, and even end them prematurely if not tended to with clinical and therapeutic care. Thank God for Cynthia's courage, wit, and her sparkling zest for life with bulimia--there is hope!!

Very real and hopeful from a Christian perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I was very encouraged by the author's witness of hope for recovery. When I was in the midst of my bulimia, it gave me hope that I could recover too. The fact that she was Christian gave me encouragement to keep praying and depending on God for strength and help through the tough times. I recommend it to anyone!

Every time someone tells their story, someone else is realizing that they are not alone. This book also lets them know that they do not have to die.
