I picked up THE CARE AND FEEDING OF RAVENOUSLY HUNGRY GIRLS at my own book event at Northshire Books in Saratoga Springs, NY, because I could not resist the gorgeous cover or the title (which, lets be real, is kind of my whole mission in life?). But this book is more than a pretty face. Anissa Gray explores a broken family struggling with the failings of imperfect parents, the American prison system, and many toxic secrets. One of those secrets is that eating disorders happen to women of color — and that both white people and other people of color don’t know what to do with that. I’m so glad Gray told this story, because that’s a conversation we need to be having more.
