The AED Development Committee is thrilled to announce the official launch of Aimee Liu’s new book, “Restoring Our Bodies, Reclaiming Our Lives.” Aimee also is the author of “Gaining: The Truth about Life after Eating Disorders.” Her new book is about eating disorders recovery as told through letters written by people at different phases in the process, including some who have been recovered for many years. The AED has contributed more than 30 member commentaries to the book, which are included as sidebars throughout. Aimee generously has committed to donate the royalties from the book sales to the AED.

The event will include wine and hors d’oeuvres, along with excerpts read from Aimee’s book. The $150 ticket price includes a copy of the book signed by Aimee.
