Art wants to create a book about World War II and his best resource is his father. He and his wife, Art’s mother, have lived through the complete war, through the beginning where the Jews got less priveleges, to towns with Jews driven together, to Auschwitz. So Art visits his sick father every week and wants to hear every story his father has to tell about his family and their friends.
Cannie is a ‘larger woman’ and the whole freaking world knows it because her ex-boyfriend Bruce explained her body so fully in his column for the Moxie magazine.
Cannie just wanted a little break in her relationship with Bruce, but he seems to have moved on. Cannie is miserable. This is not how she imagened her break-up to end.
But Cannie is a fighter and wants to make the best of it. So she signs in for a test at the hospital with an experimental drug to help her lose spare pounds…and sits at home waiting for Bruce to call…not pathetic at all, right?
When Bruce’s father dies they see, and especially feel, each other, what later proved to be the last time, at his parent’s house. And from that moment on Cannie’s life does a 180.
Will she continue the be brave, will she keep going to the hospital and will she really get over Bruce?
