Grapevine

Mother and daughter Michelle Doerr and Alexa Doerr share their intertwined experiences as they confront the complexities of a seemingly elusive eating disorder diagnosis. Alexa's battle with the disorder began at the tender age of ten, setting off a tumultuous journey that profoundly shaped both their lives and relationships.

They lay their raw and intimate memories side by side, intentionally choosing not to correct or edit the other's recollection. Stories are told as if they are happening in the present, from the start of their journey through their lasting recovery, as well as reflections, desires for change in the system, and hope for the future. It is a powerful testament to individual perspectives and interpretations, the importance of empathy, and the enduring lessons gained from adversity.

In the vineyard of life, our vines may wither and entangle, but through perseverance and the nurturing touch of love, we can bloom and thrive.
