“A fascinating window into the frightening and relentless world of anorexia and, equally, young womanhood.” —Katherine Boyle, Veritas Literary Agency

“Ms. Raviv is a fabulous writer and did an amazing job of simultaneously showing how her eating disorder functioned to keep her from being conscious of the underlying issues while in the depths of it, and showing the reader how all of her behaviors, thoughts and feelings were directly related to those underlying issues.” —Susie Roman, MA, Director of Programs, National Eating Disorders Association

“Shani’s openness and clarity in sharing her experience with anorexia gave my students a unique opportunity to gain empathy and understanding for the living of an eating disorder. I know it will make them better therapists.” —Dr. John Deninno, clinical psychologist and eating disorder elective instructor, Bastyr University

“Shani Raviv is a great inspiration to the many millions out there struggling with eating disorders. Her book Being Ana is honest, sensitive, witty, brutal, and so much more.” —Graham Alexander, MA (Clin.Psych.)(UCT), Director of Crescent Clinic Eating Disorders Unit

“Being Ana is not only an insightful, raw, and thought-provoking memoir detailing a subject most people know little about, it is also a work by an author who understands how to present a difficult subject with humor and aplomb. Even though the book took her eight years to complete, there is an aching immediacy within these pages.” —Leighanne Law, Elliott Bay Book Co.
