Pain Behind the Smile: My Battle With Bulimia

Rating:
Summary: lacking
Review: I have both me Leah and read her book. I met her on two occasions at conferences I attended. I also read her book. The book does look into the horrors that I know are part of the struggle with the 'demon'. However, I question the sincerity in the author. Due to the reception I received from her at both encounters, I question the sincerity of her attempts and wonder if it isn't all a grasp at further fame.

Review: Leah Hulan was my roommate at the 1994 Miss USA Pageant in South Padre, Texas (I was Miss North Dakota). The reflection and insight this book relects is real. Leah truly is a person we would all like to be like... and for her to have the courage and strength to share her story is a gift to the rest of us. The book is wonderfully written. This book would be helpful to anyone struggling with their own disease or for those knowing those who are.

Summary: Honest
Review: Was I ever impressed with her genunine honesty, which is so lacking in the world today. This book is so insightful and emotional. It is more of a biography than a book about bulimia but I do recommed it. Leah let's people know her deepest thoughts and heartbreak. That takes courage.
