This is the story of Stacey Handler, granddaughter of
the woman who created the Barbie doll. Stacey openly discloses her
battle with body image. She deftly chronicles both her struggles and her
triumphs, in the hope of aiding women similarly in pain. The Body Burden
covers many aspects of food and body-image issues. It runs the gamut
from the poignant, to the humorous, to the sarcastic. It speaks to the
vulnerability that is inside all of us. This book is truly for women of
all shapes and sizes-the plus-size woman, the overeater, the anorexic,
the bulimic, the frustrated perfectionist or anyone whose life has been
reduced to the cold numbers on a scale |
