On Thin Ice: The Story and Diary of a Male Anorexic
#1 Amazon New Release in Teen & Young Adult Nonfiction on Depression & Mental Health, Teen Health, Children's Eating Disorders Health, and Teen & Young Adult LGBTQ+ Nonfiction eBooks

Within the still corridors of his adolescence, fifteen-year-old Chris Henrie stood a towering figure, but his frail body mirrored the weight of his concealed struggles. What began as a benign piece of Chris's identity gradually became a symptom of something unfamiliar-a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa that was taking control of his life more and more by the day. Trapped by his disorder, Chris struggles to abandon his obsession with food restriction and his quest to maintain the only life he learned to value.

A memoir composed primarily of diary entries kept during a two month stay at an eating disorder inpatient hospitalization program, On Thin Ice: The Story and Diary of a Male Anorexic narrates the intimate story of a teenage boy fighting for his life against the virulent grip of anorexia. Both a harrowing and illuminating tale of self-discovery, friendship, and the strength of the human spirit, On Thin Ice lends a voice to the millions of individuals around the world who suffer from eating disorders and grants readers a glimpse into the day-to-day challenges of beginning recovery.
