Buried inside every woman with a poor self-image lays a mistress of her own fate, and
never before has the unearthing been as engaging!
Maggie has fought and lost the battle of the bulge more times than she cares to count.
Comparing herself to others has done a number on her self-esteem. However, she refuses
to submit to gastric bypass, as her best friend Olivia has. She just needs to take control
of her life. A piece of cake? More like a vat of Ben and Jerry's just waiting for her
resolve to melt.
She has a master's degree in art and she works in a coffee house. When the opportunity to
acquire her dream job arises, will she hesitate too long and miss the brass ring? She has
the hots for a shy guy and memories of a string of failed romances. Will history prevent
her from taking a chance on love? She has a handful of friends, but the only one who really
knows her is re-writing their history and taking their friendship for granted-big time!
Will Maggie let Olivia continue to treat her like a doormat?
Liza Palmer's debut novel belongs on the bestsellers lists. The author's exploration of
her character's relationships, values and misperceptions will strike a personal chord in
most readers. Ms. Palmer's fresh, bold voice doesn't allow readers to sit at a table sipping
espresso. Through excellent characterization, the author fosters the ultimate relationship
and blurs the line between protagonist and reader. You might want to reach through the
pages and shake some sense into Maggie or throttle Olivia and her new friends. However,
have no fear. Maggie wises up in her own way, in her own time. Don't miss the ending.
It's priceless!
