PW loves Feed Me (and my essay The Grief Diet)

Good reviews are like adrenaline.  They make you want to write more and better. And I am thrilled to report that PW gave Feed Me, Harriet Brown's great anthology on women and food a great review, and my friend Rochelle Shapiro was singled out for her excellent piece, and so was I for The Grief Diet!  They said :

Those essays involving eating disorders, including Caroline Leavitt’s moving account, are thoughtful and well-written.

I loved getting a shout-out and I owe the reviewer deep thanks for such a kind review.  Now I want to go write and write and write.
