About Harriet Brown
Harriet is a tremendously successful writer, whose work has appeared in The New York Times, O, Health, Glamour, Vogue, and more. She specializes in writing about issues that affect the lives of women and children.
In her book “Brave Girl Eating: A Family’s Struggle with Anorexia” she “recounts her family’s efforts to help their oldest daughter recover from anorexia nervosa.” It is one of the best books I have read on the topics of eating disorders, families, and family-based treatment. An absolute must-read for anyone affected by an eating disorder.

About #endED
The goal of #endED is to bring anyone and everyone together who care about ending eating disorders. My hope is to end the silence and myths about eating disorders, create a place for honest and informed discussion, while offering hope and encouragement.
