The Secret Language of Eating Disorders is a well-written and descriptive book on eating disorders, particularly focusing on anorexia nervosa. The author, Peggy Claude-Pierre’s both daughters suffered from and recovered from anorexia nervosa. In her struggle to help her daughters Peggy Claude-Pierre researched the disease and formed an understanding for the disease that she now has based her book on. Highly recommended by Fashtastic.net

In October of 1997, Peggy Claude-Pierre completed her first book, The Secret Language of Eating Disorders. This book has been translated into sixteen languages and has English versions from many more countries. "The Secret Language" continues to be in demand internationally and serves as a textbook guide in many high schools and universities.
