Product Description

When blonde, Rubenesque paralegal Jenny Taylor is coaxed by her boss Lissa to a dance sponsored by the Midwestern chapter of RADFAm, a national fat advocacy organization, this wild new romantic world throws her into a spin. For within the group's gang of full-figured friends and their admirers lies the tantalizing chance for love and betrayal, couplings and contretemps. The well-rounded cast of suds-worthy singles includes: Misty Shores, super-sized spiritual guide and entrepreneuse; Greg Dillman, Armani-armored chubby chaser on the prowl; Connie Donovan, a raven-tressed and roundly rumped fashion diva who mows a swath of spurned paramours; Paul Daily, a lanky teacher who learns more than he'd imagined about plump pretties; and Joseph Rivera, a hunky sous chef forever seeking a BBW who measures up to his ideal. It's robust, comic romance as Jenny and her friends flesh out the truth about soap opera: It's not just for the rich and slender. Taken from the online cyber-serial, Measure By Measure is a Tales of the City for the fat and fabulous!


From the Author

In 1997 Bill & I introduced Measure By Measure as an online serialized soap opera, developing and honing it over several years and countless hundreds of miles. My aging, ailing mother was living alone, 50 miles away, and our near-weekly visits offered uninterrupted time for conversation, perfect for exploring this fat-topian fantasy. As longtime supporters of the factual NAAFA, we'd captured remembrances of friends, conventions and events that helped flesh out our fictional characters with a Windy City flair. Bill and I cherished those scenic sojourns, even as we watched Mom struggle and fail. Measure became our creative respite from worry and despair.

Mom, you were always beautiful in my eyes, size 14 and beyond. But out of decades-old vestiges of your childhood size issues sprouted seeds of my own quarter-century of body-hatred. I pray now that, in reading this story, mothers and daughters can break the chair of self-loathing and embrace their unique personal power. And maybe then your self-doubts can be exorcised as well.

Rebecca Fox

Writing this book with my lovely wife has been a heady experience. Becky is my Jenny/Misty/Ann, and working with her on this sprawling saga has been elevating, maddening, energizing, and, ultimately, bonding. It took a long time for this book to get finished, but I'm profoundly grateful we both had that time.

William Sherman
