In addition to being White-Boucke's de facto editor and a freelance journalist in her "own write," Linda Frantzen Carlson is also a humanitarian who is dedicated to relieving the plight of overweight women and men.

This ultra-sensitive subject is treated with a skillful combination of understanding and humor in this, Linda's first book-length work.

The author documents how the societal cards are stacked against those of us for whom the term "mass market" takes on a whole new meaning.

A great gift for friends and relatives who occupy a large part of your life, or for those in need of bathroom-scale consolation!
