"I ate this book up. It is, by far, one of the most compelling eating disorder narratives I've ever read . . . and I've read a lot! An engaging and seamlessly woven mother-daughter account of battling an eating disorder, the page turning narratives effectively inform, warn and inspire others."
-Deb, E.D. Therapist

"To Have and Not to Hold" boosts us all high enough to peek over the wall that surrounded the author during the deep and very personal drama. Readers will stare into space and know they have just been treated to a beautiful love story."

-Mary Beth, Adoptee

I read this book in one sitting and would highly recommend it to anyone and most certainly should be on any adoptive parent's reading list.
Bravo to this brave gifted writer!
