Inside the Silent Struggle: Unraveling the Raw Truths of Eating Disorder Recovery in Slip
What does it mean to live in the “middle place” of recovery — not quite healed, yet no longer fully ill? Mallary Tenore Tarpley’s memoir, Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery, wrestles with exactly this paradox, offering a raw, unflinching look into the messy, non-linear reality of eating disorder recovery. Having lost her mother at just 11 years old, Tarpley’s journey is interwoven with heartbreak, resilience, and candid reflections — all buttressed by meticulous research and childhood journals that peel back the layers of stigma and misunderstanding surrounding anorexia. If you think recovery fits neatly into “sick” or “well,” this book might just upend your perspective — because sometimes healing isn’t about a finish line, but learning to live amid the uncertainty. It’s a narrative that resonates not only with those touched by eating disorders but anyone grappling with chronic illness or addiction.
