Eating My Way to Heaven

Eating My Way to Heaven by Denise Martin. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781887542234.

A well-written, wickedly funny and heartbreakingly honest, Eating My Way to Heaven is an unforgettable story about one woman’s battle with food and drug abuse, and her ultimate triumph over her addictions. In this page-turner autobiography, Martin takes the reader inside the devastating effects of sexual abuse and incest and the complicated, painful road to recovery. While Martin’s story addresses serious issues of dysfunctional families, physical and psychological addictions, it also provides vital information on the value of good nutrition, health and well-being. It is sure to encourage all those battling with various addictions to learn how to live with purpose and discover a life of balance and peace. Eating My Way to Heaven is not a typical "diet" book, but reads like a fast-moving screenplay for a Hollywood blockbuster, with such personalities as Mickey Rooney, Farrah Fawcett and Oprah each adding their personal twist to the tale.
