Jamie is a older in senior high school and, like so many of her peers, doing too much. Unlike so many of her friends, she is enormously, irreversibly, sometimes angrily (and sometimes delightedly) heavy. Her most immediate need is a scholarship to college, so she creates an explosive and controversial column weekly in the institution newspaper about being extra fat. Soon, Jamie sees herself fighting for her rights as an extremely fat girl?and not silently. As her column increases all types of open public questions, so too must Jamie find her own private way on the planet, with love popping up in an surprising place, and satisfaction in her size dropping floor to real irritation.
Tapping into her own experience with losing weight, her training as a psychotherapist, and the current fascination in the multimedia with teens trying drastic weight-loss measures, Susan Vaught creates searing and amusing prose that will grasp readers while requesting the most serious questions about life.
