author of Safety in Numbers "Rachael Steil is a talented writer
dedicated to sharing her journey, her struggle, and her most
vulnerable moments to help others. Her courage shines through on
the pages of Running in Silence. "--Jennifer DiGennaro, certified
Intuitive Eating Counselor and founder of Nourished Energy "Not all
of us can identify with eating disorders, but Running in Silence
gives a star athlete's perspective of what it's like. The decline
and then the journey back is a compelling story that gives us hope
that any of us can recover from our challenges." --Don Kern,
adventure runner and the director of the Metro Health Grand Rapids
Marathon "Rachael Steil has written a powerful book which began as
a series of blog posts in the midst of her struggle with an eating
disorder as a collegiate runner. Intended as a self-help guide,
this book will also be useful to the coaching and sports medicine
community which surrounds athletes, helping alert them to the
important message that eating disorders are not just about weight."
--Gail Hall, LMSW, CEDS, Director of Comprehensive Treatment for
Eating Disorders, and co-founder of the Michigan Eating Disorders
Alliance "Running in Silence is unique in its inclusion of
questions at chapter ends about different aspects of the author's
journey and her reflections about the variety of behaviors that can
be associated with eating disorders. These questions, and the
detailed description of the author's life, make the book an
important contribution to the literature on this topic."--Susan
Haworth-Hoeppner, Professor of Sociology at Aquinas College and
author of Family, Culture, and Self in the Development of Eating
Disorders
