Memoir chronicling depression, binge eating, success at school and work, and difficulties with family. Betsy Lerner is smart, funny, and observant. Now that I've read her book, I would love to have a cup of coffee with her.

This was a pretty good read once I got into it and she got into the loony bin. Interesting on how she dealt with her food issue and the way it was thought of back then.
