About this title

Synopsis

Starving Hearts is a novel about one woman’s struggle with anorexia and bulimia. The book won ninth place in the National Writer’s Club competition under its original title The Struggle and has the imprimatur of ANRED (Anorexia Nervosa & Related Eating Disorders). It describes how Susan Talberg overcame an addiction to food by recognizing the powerful forces behind them and her need to control the mother who uses her daughter as a whipping post.

About the Author

Lynn Ruth Miller has been published in various fields for over thirty years. She often deals with feminist issues and has been featured on interview shows and adult education settings throughout the country. Her writing appeals to readers who enjoy Laurie Colwin for her ethnic flavor and commentary on the idiosyncrasies of modern life and Anne Tyler for her slightly out of sync frame of reference.

Her first published book was Starving Hearts, an autobiographical novel of life in the fifties and her successful struggle with anorexia and bulimia. It was published May, 2000 and its second edition was released January, 2001
