Rachael Steil clocked in as an All-American collegiate runner; she became a girl clawing for a comeback on a fruitarian diet. This year-long struggle with raw food ended when she realized she had to find her self-respect beyond her identity as a successful runner on a perfect diet. Running in Silence opens the door on the secret world of eating disorders. It provides vital insights for those who don't suffer from this disorder and an honest and harrowing personal story for those who do. Steil challenges the stigma of eating disorders, looks past appearance, and dives into the heart of obsession.

Reviews for Running in Silence: My Drive for Perfection and the Eating Disorder That Fed It

I want everyone--athletes, parents, coaches, and others--to read this book. What struck me most was the sheer honesty of how Rachael shares what she went through, how it impacted her sport, and how it affected her emotionally, physically, and socially. --Paula Quatromoni, DSc, RDN, Associate Professor of Nutrition and Chair of Health Sciences at Boston University Running in Silence is not just about eating disorders and recovery-it's a book that incorporates questions to help others begin dealing with their behaviors. Steil reveals the courage it takes to go to a place of pain and find the strength to heal. She breaks free on her own terms and shows the reader how to do the same. There is hope and compassion from a writer who cares about the reader. We need more stories like this with guidance. It's a helpful book for anyone, especially to educate parents, coaches, and athletes. -Suzy Favor Hamilton, three-time Olympic runner and New York Times bestselling author of Fast Girl: A Life Spent Running from Madness
