About the book, Andrea's Voice...Silenced by Bulimia and what readers are saying:

Andrea Smeltzer had the world at her feet: she was vibrant, talented, strong, and beautiful. But after a one-year struggle with bulimia, Andrea died in her sleep at the age of 19, catapulting her mother, Doris, into a journey of self-discovery and realizations about her daughter and herself. By combining Andrea’s poetry, letters and journal entries, both mother and daughter tell the story together, capturing the bond that connected them.  Paperback, 304 pages. (Gurze Books, 2006)

Reader's Comments:

"Your book has made me realize that life is far too short and far too exciting to spend it hiding away [with an eating disorder]. Your words have been a real turning point in my life. ...I am excited about the future and of what it may be. I choose life and I thank you for helping me make that choice." --18-year-old woman

"I am sure that through your works with "Andrea's Voice" that you are often reminded that the passing of your daughter, while infinitely tragic, has helped and inspired others. I am here to tell you that I am alive today because of her story ... I am so thankful for you. You took a tragic and somewhat taboo experience and you made a decision to share your story and to share Andrea's story. Her passing was not in vain, and without the awareness you offered I do not know where I would be." --Young mother who suffered with bulimia

"A few weeks after I initially read [your book], I re-read it--somewhat--tried to skim it, tried to go through it glancingly, not take it all in. But you got me again. Maddeningly! You had me crying and filling with dread and thinking that I know you and Andrea. I didn't want to relate so well to the inside-out raw-skinned guilt, second-guessing, never knowing, belated self-recognition...all the layers you have made so vivid. But I'm back there with you. And back again to being grateful for your keen perception, your perilous availability to your experience, your need to know. What a rich, tenacious book." --A 40-something mother

"I was profoundly affected on a personal level by your story, so much so that I feel compelled to share it with others." --Young man in his early 20s

"I recently purchased the book about your beautiful daughter Andrea and I've read it twice...... I have read lots of books on eating disorders and this is the FIRST that has truly touched my inner being. I am scared and reminded just how fragile we all are. I am getting the help I need (finally) even though it is the scariest thing I have ever done. Andrea's journal entries and poems are an inspiration to me and I thank you so very much for sharing your pain." --Young wife, now on her healing journey
