In Crave, Christine O’Brien tells the story of how her mother, forty years before the demand for raw juices and smoothies spawned a trendy mini-industry, put the family on the Program, a blended vegetable regime to which she demanded total adherence. Her mission: the purification of her children’s bodies, minds and souls. Hunger became the most constant thing in their lives.
Christine O’Brien grew up in New York and Beverly Hills and teaches at Saint Mary’s College of California. Her work has appeared in The Seneca Review and The Slush Pile. Her memoir Crave: A Memoir of Food and Longing, sold out of its first printing in only 2 ½ weeks! Booklist calls CRAVE “compelling” and a “page turner,” and Lit Hub lists as one of ten memoirs to look for.
