"A gripping graphic novel about a woman's battle with eating
disorders." -- The Guardian
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 that 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,
a trip into the black heart of a taboo illness, an exposure of those who
are so weak that they prey on the weak, and an inspiration to anybody
who believes in the human power to endure and to eventually find
happiness.
