Growing up in the digital age, with the pressures of social media and increasingly competitive academics, Alayna's perfectionism started early in life. She began to despise her body after a pre-teen wellness check when the physician told her to "lay off the snacks" and watch her weight. At age 16, Alayna was diagnosed with anorexia. She was three weeks from being sent to an in-patient treatment center when she decided to take charge of her life.

Plagued with body dysmorphia beginning at six years old, Melissa came of age in the diet culture of the 1970s and 1980s when fad diets, diet pills, and at-home exercise equipment dominated the golden age of advertising. Melissa was diagnosed with bulimia when she was 16 and her treatment included both inpatient and intensive outpatient programs over five years. After a series of traumatic events, she struggled with anorexia in her thirties.

Burke and Kelley weave their stories of illness and recovery through 12 topics that fed their eating disorders and share how they now manage those challenges to fully participate in life. FULL offers insight and hope to people struggling with eating disorders and those who love them.

Industry Reviews

"Their voices are unique, yet the vulnerabilities they share and challenges they face are not only at the core of the recovery process but perhaps, universal to successfully navigating adult development. The result is informative and inspirational." - Kim McCallum MD; Psychiatrist, Author, Advocate Founder McCallum Place Eating Disorders Treatment Centers

"In this dialogue between the generations, we understand so much of the ever-changing challenge in becoming a whole person..." - Nigel C Lester MD, Psychiatrist
