Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback


Meet Dolores Price. She's 13, wise mouthed but wounded, having bid her childhood bood-bye. Beached like a whale in front of her bedroom TV, she spends the next few years nourishing herself with mallomars, potato chips and Pepsi her anxious mother supplies. When she finally rolls into young womanhood at 257 pounds, Dolores is no stronger and life is no kinder. But this time she's determined to rise to rise to the occasion and give herself one more chance before really going belly up.
