The Book
Running in Silence
“A must-read for anyone who wants to better understand the causes and potential cures of eating disorders.”
Rachael Steil will sign and send a paperback copy of Running in Silence: My Drive for Perfection and the Eating Disorder That Fed It.
Rachael Steil clocked in as an All-American collegiate runner; she became a girl clawing for a comeback on a fruitarian diet. This year-long struggle with raw food ended when she realized she had to find her self-respect beyond her identity as a successful runner on a perfect diet. Running in Silence opens the door on the secret world of eating disorders. It provides vital insight for those who don’t suffer from this disease and an honest and harrowing personal story for those who do. Steil challenges the stigma of eating disorders, looks past appearance and dives into the heart of obsession.
