For twenty-eight years, things 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 rat terrier, Nifkin, and her job as a pop culture reporter for The Philadelphia Examiner. Shes even made a tenuous peace with her plus-size body.

But the day she opens up a national womens magazine and see the words Loving a Larger Woman above her ex-boyfriends byline, Cannie is plunged into miseryand the most amazing year of her life. From Philadelphia to Hollywood and back home again, she charts a new course for herself: mourning her losses, facing her past, and figuring out who she is and what she can become.
