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

hope the information will be of comfort and assistance to those in need.
