Fat Chance

Maggie O'Leary, America's Anti-Diet sweetheart, plays Dear Abby to the overweight in her newspaper column, "Fat Chance." But all that changes when she receives a call from one of Hollywood's sexiest actors, Mike Taylor, asking her to serve as a consultant on a film in which he'll play a diet doctor in a weight-loss clinic. Maggie realizes this is a golden opportunity and goes on a clandestine weight-loss campaign to impress this heartthrob. Her culinary skills and newly svelte figure instantly win the affection of Mike. It seems as if Maggie has it all now. But she finds that she misses her good friend Tex and the life she had in New York. And while Maggie chooses between good ol' boy Tex and Hollywood Mike, she must also come to terms with her weight loss and what it means for her perception of herself.Blumenthal, Deborah is the author of 'Fat Chance', published 0013 under ISBN 9781587249976 and ISBN 1587249979.
