Sheila Himmel - "Hungry"
Author and food critic, Sheila Himmel and her daughter Lisa Himmel, will be at Warwick's on Thursday, October 15 at 7:30pm to discuss and sign her memoir, Hungry: A Mother and Daughter Fight Anorexia.
Unbeknownst to food critic Sheila Himmel - as she reviewed exotic cuisines from bistro to brasserie - her daughter, Lisa, was at home starving herself. Before Sheila fully grasped what was happening, her fourteen-year-old with a thirst for life and a palate for the flavors of Vietnam and Afghanistan was replaced by a weight-obsessed, antisocial, hundredpound nineteen-year-old. From anorexia to bulimia and back again - many times - the Himmels feared for Lisa’s life as her disorder took its toll on her physical and emotional well-being. Hungry is the first memoir to connect eating disorders with a food-obsessed culture in a very personal way, following the stumbles, the heartbreaks, and even the funny moments as a mother-daughter relationship - and an entire family - struggles toward healing.
