FROM THE GURZE CATALOG:
Caroline Miller first chronicled her recovery from bulimia in the bestselling 1988 autobiography, My Name is Caroline, one of the first personal stories published about eating disorders. Despite the book's success and her newfound recovery, Caroline still faced serious financial and emotional challenges. Here, she describes what her life has been like for the past 20 years, as she discovered the deeper meanings of full recovery.
Written in the same engaging voice that inspired the thousands of readers who sent her letters, I'm Still Caroline chronicles her rollercoaster life: the ups and downs of marriage, the changes in her body through three pregnancies, a tragic attempt to open a residential treatment center, career struggles and successes, and her proudest accomplishment-raising resilient children, including a daughter, Samantha, who contributes a touching forward. Available late summer/early fall of 2008.

My Name is Caroline
REVIEWS
"[This book] will no doubt be a great help to people with similar problems…" The Washington Post
"Caroline Miller leads you to her personal hell, the place that existed in the shadows of her beauty and success. This is not only a searing account of the torment of bulimia, but a fearless examination of the self-destructive demons that can live inside anyone." Diane Sawyer, co-host of ABC's 20/20 and Good Morning America
"This book is a MUST for all professionals who examine and counsel people who admit, or deny, or conceal that they have an eating disorder - including internists and therapists who dispense psychological advice." Howard M. Spiro, M.D., Yale University School of Medicine Magazine
"Could help you make a difference in the life of someone you love." Family Circle
"In chronicling her seven-year slide into degradation and despair, Ms. Miller takes us not for a walk on the wild side to places the likes of which we've never seen, but to Baskin-Robbins and Steve's Ice Cream in Harvard Square." The New York Times
"Here is the candid, hard-hitting story of her descent into illness and her final brave triumph." The Literary Guild
