My Sister-n-law, Haley Hatch Freeman!
Isn't she beautiful! Travis and Melissa Wedding reception 2007
Her husband Brandon and two children, Trevan and Kaylea.
Ten years ago, we never thought we would see this day! She was so sick with Anorexia. She was on the path of death. Shane and I and Dylan lived in Logan, going to USU. I remember every month, when we would go down to Scipio, we could see a dramatic difference of weight loss. She has chronic fatigue syndrome, so that's what she claimed was the cause of her weight loss. We would be so concerned about her. She spent alot of time in her bedroom. Not the same happy Haley. She used to spend hours with Dylan. But, the disease consumed her every thought and action. I would watch her eat a corner of a piece of bread, a small teaspoon of this and that. We would talk to her and try to help her. Nothing. Stone cold. Shane's parents were so concerned for her health too! They finally took her to several doctors and therapists. She would not change. Unfortunately, it became so severe....that she was almost gone!
During her miraculous recovery, she knew she needed to write about it! And ten years later, it is here! She has published her journey! She hopes it will help those that have suffered and are suffering! It is a real disease and there is hope!
I am so proud of the woman she is today! I am proud of her for having the courage to battle the demons of Anorexia! She is the best mother! She spends hours reading and teaching her children. She is happy with her life. I love you Haley. Thank you for sharing your journey!
Anyone, interested in purchasing one, let me know!

How inspiring! She has overcome her disease and is now helping others. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I too would love to read her book. The picture that hits me the most is the one of the beautiful girl standing in front of the mirror, but not seeing her real self at all. She sees something completely different than who she is. That is such a powerful illustration of anorexia.
How wonderful for your sister in law to finally have overcome this disease. I am proud of her!
What an inspiring story Kristen. I think that is so wonderful that she is sharing what she has learned to help others. That is what life is all about. I am grateful for her desires. Thanks for the share.
WOW, that's all I can say. I'm very impressed. Sounds like through the love and help of her family, she pulled through. Thanks for sharing Kristen.
She looks great in her family picture...healthy and full of life.
Thank you Kristen for the kinds words you left on my blog. They mean so much to me! Could you copy and paste the same comment on my book blog to help boost that site?
I appreciate your support so much! Love you!
That is really touching. Her courage and determination, plus the love and support of family, have changed her. That's amazing.
