Cannie is the idea of a larger woman finding love in herself and learning to accept the world around her. Her and Maxie make the perfect pair with their complete opposite appearances yet so much alike inside. I could never handle so much as Cannie went through within a years time. I would probably want to kill "the pusher" just as much as she did and I hope she got what she deserved. 
 If you have any insecurities about your body, your home, your family, your love life etc. Read this book and let Cannie show you that there is hope to find happiness despite what all you've been through.
