In the book, the journalist and professor at the University of Texas-Austin chronicles her own struggles with anorexia and her recovery from the disorder. She interviewed hundreds of patients and doctors — many from the Dallas area — to gain a deeper understanding of eating disorders and their treatment.

Tarpley will have a conversation with Dallas Morning News staff writer Sarah Hepola, followed by an audience Q-and-A and book signing. The event is free to attend.

Interabang Books is at 5600 W. Lovers Lane, Suite 142, in Dallas.
