Chantel A Ferraro: The Only Girl on the Floor, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Raised on Strawberry Shortcake, cigarettes, and the promise that everything would be okay, Chantel learned early that real life doesn't always follow the stories we are told. In this compelling narrative memoir, she reveals how an eating disorder took hold at eleven years old, becoming a quiet coping mechanism that shaped the next two decades of her life. Behind the image of a protective eldest sister, devoted wife, and loving mother was a woman privately struggling with shame, perfectionism, and the invisible weight of childhood trauma. A raw, honest, and compassionate journey through family dysfunction, marriage, motherhood, and recovery, The Only Girl on the Floor explores what happens when the illusions of youth shatter. This moving account of resilience and mental health healing proves that understanding your past is the ultimate key to reclaiming your future. It is a vital read for audiences of contemporary women's memoirs, trauma recovery stories, and uplifting narratives of personal transformation.
