Silent Screams
is a collection of poems at the core of Lori Henry's journey in recovering from
bulimia. From her desparate lows to her ecstatic highs, once can always relate
to the troubled heart.
"I am recovering from bulimia.
All the feelings that I have been running away from, that I was scared of, that
I thought too hideous to ever share, are collected inside of these pages, raw
and charged with emotion. From being entirely resigned to ever fight back, the
moments of anger, frustration, and desperation, to the amazing power of freedom
I am beginning to find; I hope these poems will take the reader on a journey through
the ups and downs of torment and happiness, the places where one can always find
something to relate to. In my times of utter despair, these Silent Screams were
all I could say to relieve even the smallest amount of pain." - Lori Henry

soul cleansing and beautiful music."
"Eating disorders have devastated
my life since I went on my first diet at age nine. I believe that child abuse
and trauma were partly the cause of my compulsive overeating, bulimia nervosa,
and binge eating disorder. I hope by sharing my recovery story and songs from
my CD "Soulful Journey", you'll find a friend who understands and the courage
to reach out for help." Geri Karlstrom
