Portia de Rossi weighed only 37kg when she collapsed on the set of the Hollywood film in which she was playing her first leading role. This should have been the culmination of all her years of hard work - first as a child model in Australia, then as a cast member of one of the hottest shows on American television. On the outside she was thin and blonde, glamorous and successful. On the inside, she was literally dying.
In this searing, unflinchingly honest book, Portia captures the complex emotional truth of what it is like when food, weight, and body image take priority over every other human impulse or action.
