While in treatment for anorexia nervosa and purge disorder, Genevieve was isolated and alone. At one point, no other patients were allowed to speak to her, and she wasn't allowed outside for five months. So many thoughts swirled in her head and without any output she felt trapped, so she began to write, and spent the next three years writing her book. A Starved Heart is divided into sections pertaining to the emotional stages she experienced: Fear, Anger, Depression, and finally Redemption. The poems dive deep into the author's eating disorders and mental anguish, sharing her experiences enduring four years of treatment centers and hospital stays that finally lead her to recovery.
