Synopsis

“Still in awe and with a quiet sense of relief, I returned to the adult psych unit the following day, changed.”

Cassandra was not expected to survive anorexia, let alone make a complete recovery, but she did. Beautiful Light, therefore, offers a message of hope. Not the typical “recovery is possible” message—although that is certainly true. Remarkably, Beautiful Light speaks of a life-giving hope. Hope that light can break through, inner life can be found and holistic recovery can prove absolutely worthwhile.

Whether you have anorexia, are a health professional or a caregiver, Cassandra’s story and insights on anorexia, spirituality and recovery, will cultivate understanding and impart tangible hope. Cassandra believes, “No one is beyond help, and everyone is worthy of it. Irrespective of how bleak it may seem, there’s an incredible path full of life before each of us.”
