You Are Not Alone - Volume 2  

"Truly inspiring"

"To know that others have struggled just as much, and that they cannot 'only' survive, but thrive and live a better life, is truly inspiring."

"Don't give up five minutes before the miracle!"

"This is a powerful collection of hopes, dreams, despair… and victories! They are all war stories, written by survivors. Thank you to Andrea and to each of the people who share their journeys with eating disorders. I started this book and read it all the way through. It reminded me of so many of the stages that I went through for thirty years, struggling with my eating disorder all alone. Back then, no one talked about it, and I had no role models to know that recovery is even possible! Well, now I am living proof that it is… and that life can be fabulous once you give up "Perfect!" If you or someone you know needs help, please speak up and tell someone. Don't settle for less than wonderful in your life. And don't give up five minutes before the miracle!"

"There is Hope"

"Andrea is a voice of Hope for so many in the barren wilderness of the bondage of an eating disorder. Read these stories and be encouraged; you will see the journey of healing can be made! Andrea brings us all together so we remember we are not alone. There is Hope."

"I am not alone"

"I believe many people suffering with eating disorders ask one question in common: 'If Recovery is Possible.' Seeking an answer is somehow easier than taking the necessary steps towards recovery! Over the last four years I have been a constant reader of Andrea Roe's work! Her writing and knowledge of Anorexia, Bulimia and other associated eating disorders are not only useful but also inspirational. Now with Andrea's second book You Are Not Alone, Volume 2, comes more inspirational readings; perfect for anyone suffering, recovering, or supporting someone with an eating disorder. I personally recommend Andrea Roe's work, as she has been a shining star in my own personal battle with Anorexia.

Andrea, I am forever grateful to you for helping me find the right path on my road to recovery and reminding me that I am, in fact, Not alone!!"

"Eating disorders can be beaten"

"You Are Not Alone, Volume 2, is another healing dose of comfort to all those struggling with eating disorders. It provides readers with inspiration and hope for recovery, even from the darkest places. The stories give readers a chance to relate to those who completely understand what it is like to fight an eating disorder every single day. Most importantly, this book sends out the message that eating disorders can be beaten and there is always support available to win the fight!"

Through music, prose, and poetry this book and CD give all suffering with eating disorders inspiration and clarity to seek recovery.

Andrea Roe's book gives many different voices to eating disorders and this book and CD will make those who are in the midst of struggling know 'They are not alone.' This book and CD should be in every treatment center."

You Are Not Alone, Volume 2, also gave me new hope and courage to keep on with my recovery. This book is a safe place you can come to when you are having an awful day, one of those days of fighting your eating disorder."

"I cannot say enough about
how this book has helped me."

"Andrea Roe's book, You Are Not Alone, Volume 2, is all inspiring, ever helping us to remember we are truly not alone in fighting whatever eating disorder we may struggle with or even have overcome. The book is a collection of different writings and art from people going through the same struggles. It gives me hope when I'm struggling, to hear how others were able to overcomes their disorder. I know for me to hear from others' hearts who have gone through the same things and some who have overcome gives me hope, and I can pick up and read when I feel no one could possibly understand what I'm going through.

Each writing is so precious, and there's something for everyone with some that will touch a very strong cord in you. As you flip through the pages, the more you can see how eating disorders, self-injury, etc. had tried to steal our voice that we had had all along. Once we are able to let go of whatever destructive pattern we have going on in our life, then the true healing begins. We may find joy we have never felt before, maybe actually just 'feel' for the first time or in a long time.

The book also comes with a CD full of songs that are healing for the mind as well as the soul.

I cannot say enough about how this book has helped me. It takes you through the ups and downs of individuals' struggles, but leaves you with a feeling of hope that not only are you not alone, but that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I think it would be awesome if there were more things out there like this, instead of things that are only going to hurt us or break us down (i.e. some magazines and television shows). All the best to everyone who contributed to make this book possible. My hope is everyone who picks this up and reads it will be blessed as I have, to continue in recovery or to get help if needed."

Eating Disorder Advocate in her twenties from Alabama

"You can life ED (eating disorder) free"

"This is the book which has helped me to FINALLY get into recovery after battling for eleven years with bulimia.... Andrea Roe's 'You Are Not Alone' is an invaluable tool for those suffering with an Eating Disorder (ED) of any nature, and also for their loved ones and supporters, as it will help them to understand the confusing and dangerous nature of the condition.

Through the very real experience of over 30 unique and inspiring women from all over the world, including the author herself, the book illuminates the truth: Recovery IS possible and you can live life ED free, appreciating the beauty of youself as a person, and the possibilities and opportunities of the world around you!
