Searching for God in the Garbage is an extremely candid chronicle of how the author became an observant Jew and overcame anorexia, told through actual diary entries and letters, spanning through the 60s, 70s, and 80s. It reflects changes in both the inner and outer world of the author during these exciting and turbulent years. The reader experiences the loss of innocence during adolescence, struggles with increasingly riskier behaviors, as well as the emergence of a gradually developing eating disorder.
The thesis of this psychological and spiritual detective book is that eating disorders reflect hungry souls. As demonstrated through the author’s recovery and eventual epiphany, these destructive behaviors are the symptoms of a desperate craving for spiritual nourishment.
