A moving memoir about overcoming anorexia and sexual abuse – and becoming whole.

“It’s universal yet specific and those together make such strong medicine. Wow.” – Joss Whedon

Like most kids, Katie was a picky eater. She’d sit at the table in silent protest, hide uneaten toast in her bedroom, listen to parental threats she’d have to eat it for breakfast. But in any life, a set of circumstances can collide, and normal behavior can soon shade into something sinister, something deadly.

Lighter Than My Shadow is a hand-drawn story of struggle and recovery, an inspiration to anybody who believes in the human power to endure, and to eventually find happiness.
