• Frances Kuffel •
author of Passing For Thin
 August, 2002: Mount Reynolds, Glacier National Park "This is a book that will grab you and hold you in its grip, and break your heart even as it inspires you. Frances Kuffel's memoir is so real, so alive with honesty and clarity, you will never forget it. It is a Pilgrim's Progress toward the holy city of thin. Kuffel is our confessional poet of fatness, and the struggle toward fitness, beauty, love. She is entertaining and tough, vivid and funny, in a story of victory that will delight every reader." - Robert Morgan, author of Gap Creek, Brave Enemies "This book is simply riveting. There is not a woman who's ever carried more than her share of body weight, who won't identify with every word that Frances Kuffel has written. Kuffel's journey is rich in wit and wisdom. Her book is a jewel and a must have for anyone who's ever contemplated improving their body as well as their mind." - Pam Peeke MD, MPH, Pew Foundation Scholar in Nutrition and Metabolism, author of Fight Fat After Forty "Frances Kuffel's book is brave and beautiful, full of anguish, gritty determination, and the thrill of emerging from obsession." - Geneen Roth, author of When Food is Love `Cause You Got To Have Frie-nds... If Pam Peeke can't enthuse you into eating & exercising for health, no one can.  The lengths Julia Hanson went to in order to quit her last dependency.  Molly O'Neill's MOSTLY TRUE brings life & food together in all the best & most dagerous ways.  Maura Conlon McIver strikes it just right in recounting a Catholic childhood and all the attendant family drama.  & if Peeke's enthusiasm doesn't work, Judith Moore's terrifying FAT GIRL will scare you out of the next bite of sugar... |
