“The Mirror Lied is a heartfelt account of individuals suffering from eating disorders. This insightful, engaging, and masterful book is a must-read for individuals suffering from eating disorders and their loved ones.”

Judy E. Marshel, Ph.D., RD, is a nutrition therapist specializing in eating disorders.

The Mirror Lied is based on the true story of Jessica Gordon. Told in Jessica's voice, and based on extensive interviews with her, The Mirror Lied has been called “gripping,” “compelling” and “heart-wrenching” (AMAZON reviews).

Before she turned twenty, Jessica was raped by the woman entrusted to protect her and nearly killed by her brother. But those events pale in comparison to the life and death struggles she faced for twenty-five years as she fought for her life against her battles with anorexia and bulimia, laxative abuse, and cutting.

Readers are pulled into Jessica’s world of pain and struggle as they witness her effort to overcome this debilitating disorder. They also meet the people fighting to save her life.

To quote Jessica: “To those in recovery, stay there. To those who seek help, may you find a good therapist who knows how to help you. To those in denial of their eating disorder problem – heaven help you.”

Marc A. Zimmer, Ph.D., is an eating disorders specialist and co-author of the best-selling book, Dying to Be Thin. Dr. Zimmer has lectured extensively and he has published numerous journal articles on eating disorders.

N.R. Mitgang is the co-author (Haskins / Mitgang) of Mr. Bojangles (William Morrow) and an acclaimed playwright (New York Times).
