Cannie Shapiro never wanted to be famous. The smart, sharp, plus-sized reporter was perfectly happy writing about other people's lives for her local newspaper. And for the past twenty-eight years, things have been tripping along nicely for Cannie. 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 job, her friends, her dog and her life. She loves her apartment and her commodious, quilt-lined bed. She has made a tenuous peace with her body and she even felt okay about ending her relationship with her boyfriend Bruce. But now this...'Loving a larger woman is an act of courage in our world,' Bruce has written in a national woman's magazine. And Cannie - who never knew that Bruce saw her as a larger woman, or thought that loving her was an act of courage - is plunged into misery, and the most amazing year of her life.

Smart plus-sized reporter Cannie never wanted to be famous and was happy writing for her local newspaper. She could deal with her mother charging out of the closet and her father dropping out of her world and could even feel OK about ending her relationship with her boyfriend, Bruce. But then Bruce writes in a national women's magazine that 'loving a large woman is an act of courage' and this plunges Cannie into misery - and the most amazing year of her life. A fresh, funny debut novel from an author to watch.
