Sometimes recovery starts with redefining what “better” even means. 🌧️

Ink in Water by Lacy J. Davis is a powerful graphic memoir about anorexia, addiction, and the ongoing work of healing. Through stark black-and-white illustrations and candid storytelling, it offers a deeply human look at eating disorders beyond diagnostic criteria.

For medical students, it’s a reminder that behind every diagnosis is a person navigating perfectionism, identity, and self-worth.
