註釋"By the time I was eleven years old, I'd already been on fifteen medications, seen ten doctors, been diagnosed with six disorders, and gone to five schools. . . . After coming home from my first treatment center at the age of fifteen, I decided the time had come for me to try and make sense of everything."So begins this extraordinary story of a young woman who suffers from multiple disorders and her detailed account of the struggle to gain control of her mind, body, and soul. As a young child, Melissa knew she was different; Tourette's syndrome gave her tics and dyslexia made her feel incapable and stupid. Believing that her food intake was the one thing she could control, Melissa starved herself while her mind tortured her. Suffering from anorexia nervosa, Melissa's mind and body fought for nourishment. Nourishment is the story of a young girl who, through compassionate medical care, her parents' love and support, and her own sheer will to get better, set about to make sense of her disordered mind and to refeed her body and soul.
