Summary
Kid Rex is the story of one woman’s struggle to overcome anorexia.

Critics Review
“A heartwrenching, honest and beautiful book written by someone who has been there and has lived to tell about it.” –“Bookshipper”“An inspirational book for anyone else dealing with similar dangerous behaviours.” –“Shelf Life”“Harrowing and always candid, Moisin draws a clear map of her anorexic mind and heart. A book for survivors of anorexia, as well those who want to understand a completely misrepresented and misunderstood disease.” –Ibi Kaslik, author, “Skinny”
