Follow her journey as she learns to trust and love herself, and watch her grow as she finds love. But will an issue from her past rise up to ruin her new life?Review"Sometimes, I don't think an author realizes the power of their words. Pick up this lovely tale of finding yourself, finding happiness to finally loving yourself to allow someone else to love you." -- Jess, Bookend 2 Bookend Review BlogFrom the AuthorSo much of this story is from my personal experiences, living life as a plus sized female. Life is never easy, but in a world/society where so much personal value is placed on what we see in the mirror or what our scale says to us, being larger than most is a tough life to live. We often forget that there are reasons behind the weight, and that it isn't always about a person who lacks adequate self-control. There are illnesses and other deficiencies that pad a woman with more curves than she usually wants to have, and we'd do well to remember our sense of empathy as we encounter others in life, both big and small.I hope that in reading this book, big girls find a beginning to their journey of self-love (or at least the next step on a journey they've already begun), no matter what their size, and that others who do not suffer the plus-size stigma are able to get an inside view into the suffering of others.Then again, if all you're looking for is a love story, push through the beginning and find yourself some hotness! :) Views: 18
