A take with 'tude on writing, books, and life in the Garden State by an author, journalist, and Jersey girl.
1. Fantastically Furious Friday: Double the Jersey Trouble


NOTHING was profiled in two Jersey newspapers this week, which is as thrilling as life can get for a Jersey Girl like me:

THE STAR-LEDGER
Peek: "In reading and researching this topic, what made me feel very heartbroken was how people with bulimia would rather die slowly than tell someone about it," Friedman says. "There's such a profound sense of shame in having the disease, they would prefer to get sicker and sicker than to get help."

THE WARREN REPORTER
Peek: "That just made me want to write the book more...I really wanted to understand how someone develops bulimia, why they would binge and purge," Friedman said. "It's such an unusual behavior and yet millions of people do it. I wanted to put myself in their shoes so I would understand."
