loving, but lonely girlhood as the child of a single mother, the
corrosive effect of constant doubts about her appearance and the
internal struggle over her sexuality." --"Los Angeles Times "(5
star review)

secrets and lies about her eating disorders and her sexuality makes
this forthright confessional story at once shocking and
instructional, especially for younger women who may be secretly
suffering on their own." --"Entertainment Weekly"
"Written with artistry, compelling insight and lucid frankness,
["Unbearable Lightness"] offers solid hope and inducement to
initiate the odyssey toward self-knowledge and acceptance." --"The
