Homesick
A Memoir of Family, Food, and Finding Hope
Author: Jenny Lauren
Overview
With unflinching honesty, Homesick recounts Jenny Lauren’s harrowing struggle with anorexia and bulimia, beginning at age ten. Though she appeared to embody perfection as the niece of fashion icon Ralph Lauren, Jenny’s reality was one of relentless self-criticism, disordered eating, and eventual medical crisis that left her in chronic pain at just twenty-four.
More than a memoir of illness, Homesick is a story of family, society’s pressures, and the universal search for identity and hope. Jenny writes with flashes of wit and wisdom beyond her years, creating a deeply personal yet widely relatable narrative about pain, recovery, and resilience.
