This is a great book about the power of the human spirit to overcome real difficulties. It is a story of one person facing multiple challenges--parents joining a cult, marriage at an early age, weight gain to the point of handicap, yet keeping her sense of humor and responsibility. The author takes responsibility, not blaming others, even when there is plenty to blame. She also highlights the discrimination that overweight people face daily.
