"An inspirational guide that tackles the issue of eating disorders in the Jewish community ... Starving To Live features: An anorexic girl's diary of growing up, becoming a teenager, going away to camp and then learning in a Jerusalem seminary -- all the while recounting in excruciating detail her continual struggle -- and the struggle of the girls around her -- with anorexia. Her diary closes with a hopeful note about recovery. Side by side with this eye-opening diary are insightful comments brought down by Rabbi Goldwasser from the Torah, from Chazal and from Gedolim throughout the centuries. Tips on how parents can help prevent eating disorders in their own children. Specific symptoms of anorexia and bulimia and how to act around someone experiencing an eating disorder. A discussion of the causes of eating disorders, including the pressure to succeed, the pressure to be thin in order to find a good shidduch and the overemphasis, in many homes, on food. Rabbi Goldwasser movingly recounts the shame that hinders all too many people from reaching out and getting the help they so desperately need. Too many people he has encountered have no place to turn and remain tormented with this disease. A fascinating essay on weight loss in halacha based on responsa by Rabbi Moshe Feinstein. Advice on healthy eating from Maimonides. A heartrending list of questions that Rabbi Goldwasser has been asked by people with eating disorders who went to him for counseling. Some of the more terrifying questions include: If one purges after a meal, is one still obligated to recite Birchas Hamazon (Grace after Meals)? Or, if one is receiving nutrition intravenously because of anorexia, is a bracha (blessing) still necessary? Inspirational Chassidic stories"--

Winner of the 2017 Andre Norton Award for Outstanding Young Adult Science Fiction or Fantasy Book! “Funny, haunting, beautiful, relentless, and powerful, The Art of Starving is a classic in the making.”—Book Riot Matt hasn’t eaten in days. His stomach stabs and twists inside, pleading for a meal, but Matt won’t give in. The hunger clears his mind, keeps him sharp—and he needs to be as sharp as possible if he’s going to find out just how Tariq and his band of high school bullies drove his sister, Maya, away. Matt’s hardworking mom keeps the kitchen crammed with food, but Matt can resist the siren call of casseroles and cookies because he has discovered something: the less he eats the more he seems to have . . . powers. The ability to see things he shouldn’t be able to see. The knack of tuning in to thoughts right out of people’s heads. Maybe even the authority to bend time and space. So what is lunch, really, compared to the secrets of the universe? Matt decides to infiltrate Tariq’s life, then use his powers to uncover what happened to Maya. All he needs to do is keep the hunger and longing at bay. No problem. But Matt doesn’t realize there are many kinds of hunger…and he isn’t in control of all of them. A darkly funny, moving story of body image, addiction, friendship, and love, Sam J. Miller’s debut novel will resonate with any reader who’s ever craved the power that comes with self-acceptance.
