Synopsis
For twenty-eight
years, things have been tripping along nicely for Cannie
Shapiro. Sure, her mother has come charging out of the
closet, and her father has long since dropped out of her
world. But she loves her friends, her rat terrier, Nifkin,
and her job as pop culture reporter for The Philadelphia
Examiner. She's even made a tenuous peace with her plus-size
body.
But
the day she opens up a national women's magazine and sees
the words "Loving a Larger Woman" above her
ex-boyfriend's byline, Cannie is plunged into misery...and
the most amazing year of her life. From Philadelphia to
Hollywood and back home again, she charts a new course
for herself: mourning her losses, facing her past, and
figuring out who she is and who she can become.
