Starved

Set in working-class Irish-American Boston of the 1950s and 1960s, "Starved" tells the compelling story of Anne McTiernan's childhood struggles with neglect, malnutrition, and obesity, and her journey toward taking responsibility for her life. As a doctor and researcher, Anne has helped many women improve their relationship with food, but this memoir focuses on how she channeled her own adversity into resilience and strength during her formative years.
