Carolyn Rossiter was born and raised in New York. She loves writing, hiking, and spending time with friends. Carolyn works as an eating disorder and an LGBTQ+ advocate educating people through her stories of her lived experience.
In her brutally honest memoir, Diet Pills And Broken Dreams - Stories I Could Not Tell, which is made up of pieces from her journals, Carolyn describes the battle that engulfed her mind and body. Self-loathing and reckless behaviors that continued on through her teenage years through her early thirties.
