“Esther, you did a great job with your book. I admire the way you told your own story, very powerful, brief, to the point — never thought about how food could be the focus of so much family interaction. Your book can be a powerful motivator to help people make changes.”

- Judy Steed, author of Our Little Secret: Confronting Child Sexual Abuse in Canada and Boomer Tsunami, www.soulsparetreats.ca

“Esther Kane writes, 'If you could wave a magic wand and make this focus on food, weight and how you look disappear completely, just think of what you could accomplish with all the time you've gained.' It's Not About the Food gives you tools, techniques and thought-provoking exercises that can help guide you through healing issues with weight, body image and eating disorders. It's not magic, it's a long process, and Esther's expert guidance and friendly writing style gently guides, nudges and pushes you towards a healthier, happier life in your own body.”
