Hungry

Celebrating Life after Overcoming an Eating Disorder

By: Caroline Cook

Narrated by: Caroline Cook

We’re all hungry for something.

As soon as we are born into the world, we are hungry. We have an instinctual need that must be regularly addressed. It’s a habitual tug that makes us human. We need food and nutrients to strengthen our bones, fill us up, and satisfy our cravings. When we are grown, we get the choice to decide what we do with that innate longing.

For Caroline Cook, when her life and future seemed uncertain, what she wanted most was control. One way she found that was by managing her food intake. Overtime an unhealthy routine that offered her a sense of control turned into a very out-of-control monster of an eating disorder. In Hungry, writer, speaker, and teacher Caroline Cook, humbly shares the painful truth of where she once was and speaks of the freedom she found in overcoming an addiction that threatened to steal her joy and her life.

Caroline tells her story to bring hope and light to others who are walking down a similar path. God created us to be hungry and it wasn’t by mistake. When we bring our hunger to Him, we are able to be fully satisfied and celebrate all life has to offer.

Five stars for this book!

Caroline Cook is the recovered anorexic we all love and root for. Her experience with the disease was severe and longstanding. She came out on the other side through recovery work and her faith in God. My daughter is in the trenches now in recovery. She finished the book yesterday and said I’m feeling the exact way Mrs. Cook did! My two other daughters finished the book as well so we can all understand how powerful and pervasive this disease is. I’m better equipped to help my daughter armed with the knowledge and perspective from this fabulous true story of healing and recovery. This is a bible for both patients and parents.

Brave, honest and important book for those struggling with anorexia.

Caroline!
I just finished listening on Audible. I loved hearing your voice read your honest account of your struggle with anorexia. I’m so proud of you and proud to call you a friend. I knew of your experience from our days as new mothers, but of course didn’t know the background before we met. I know your family must be so proud of you and I’m so glad you were able to heal from your addiction. Praise God for your bravery. I’d love to catch up some time when I’m in Nashville visiting grown up Jackson! Kim Bridgforth
