For twenty-eight years, thinngs 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 rate 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, Canie is plunged into misery...and the most amazing year of her life. From Philadelphia to Hollwood 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.
