HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT "GAINING"

13-Mar-2007

Dear Friends,
I have been overwhelmed by your wonderful, open, heartfelt letters in response to the publication of GAINING. There is nothing more gratifying to a writer -- or to any person -- than the knowledge that her thoughts and ideas are making a positive connection to others.

But I am writing to invite you to let YOUR words speak to an even broader audience. If you have read GAINING and are recommending it to your friends and families, please consider posting a "customer review" on GAINING's page on Amazon.com. Together we can spread the word that eating disorders do not have to be a permanent curse, and that hope rises through self-awareness.

Eat! Love! Live!
Aimee
