Objects in Mirror 

(Stonegate Series Book 1)

Starving, starving … Grace is always starving these days.

But Grace is also strong, and determined, and skinny. For the first time ever Grace is as thin as she wants to be – nearly – and there’s no way she’s giving that up.

Except, what if she has to give up other things to be able to keep wearing her new “skinny” breeches?

What if it comes down to a choice between all the horses she loves – Sprite, the ferocious jumper, and Iowa, the sweet greenie, and Whinny, the abused but tough mare – and the numbers on the scale, the numbers on food labels, the numbers always running through her head?

Grace knows what her stepmother, Annabelle, wants her to decide. She knows what Matt – gorgeous, amazing Matt – wants her to do. She knows what the doctors think.

But she also knows nobody else can make this decision for her. And sometimes she’s not even sure if she’s got the strength to do it.

There is danger in living with anorexia, and there is also hope. Objects in Mirror is a truthful exploration of these extremes and of the struggles that lie between them.

My Review

Objects in Mirror 

📚📚📚📚📚 

I don't care if you are not interested in horses. If you are interested in mental health and in particular how to deal with an eating disorder then this book is a must read. I honestly think that this novel should be given out in hospitals because it shines a glaring light on what it is like to not only be someone who has an eating disorder, but also what it is like to be around someone, whom you love, who so happens to have an eating disorder. This novel is a must read.

Grace is fighting a truly terrifying war with herself, and for those who choose to remain ignorant of what an eating disorder can do to a person this book will shine a light upon the disorder. Even the "specialists" at times seem to have no idea what the best cause of action is. 

The only thing that keeps Grace going and fighting is her love for horses and Matt.

This novel is one of those books that I would happily read again again. A first class novel by a first class author.

You can find it over on Amazon

Tudor Robins is the author of books to make you smile. Someday she may own a horse, but for now her guinea pig, Kiwi, is a better fit for the central-Ottawa neighborhood where she lives; commuting by bicycle and following her teenage children around basketball games and curling rinks. When she's not writing, Tudor loves riding, running, quilting, and spending time on Wolfe Island.
