Seventeen-year-old Elena is vanishing—one skipped meal at a time. What begins as a way to control her anxiety spirals into a relentless war against her own body, where victory and defeat look the same. Every calorie is a battle. Every day is a fight to disappear.
Told entirely from Elena’s perspective over five harrowing years, and co-written with her mother, award-winning author Clare B. Dunkle, this deeply personal memoir lays bare the devastating grip of anorexia. In raw, unflinching detail, Elena reveals the inner turmoil of a mind at war with itself—where fear, hunger, and survival collide.
A must-read for anyone affected by an eating disorder, Elena Vanishing is an unforgettable journey through struggle, resilience, and the search for hope.
