Big Girl. Даниэла Стил, Danielle Steel554 руб
Ice cream and oversized helpings of all the wrong foods give her comfort, but only briefly. A chubby little girl with ordinary looks, Victoria Dawson has always felt out of place in her family, especially in body-conscious L.A. While her parents and sister can eat anything and not gain an ounce, Victoria must watch everything she eats, as well as endure her father’s belittling comments about her body and see her academic achievements go unacknowledged. Landing her dream job as a high school teacher, Victoria loves working with her students and wages war on her weight at the gym. The one thing she knows is that she has to get away from home, and after college in Chicago, she moves to New York City. Though they couldn’t be more different in looks, they love each other unconditionally. Despite tension with her parents, Victoria remains close to her younger sister, Grace. As the wedding draws near, a chance encounter, a deeply upsetting betrayal, and a family confrontation lead to a turning point. So when Grace announces her engagement to a man who is an exact replica of their narcissistic father, Victoria worries about her sister’s future happiness, and with no man of her own, she feels like a failure once again. Ahead is a challenge and a risk: to accept herself as she is, celebrate it, and claim the victories she has fought so hard for and deserves. Behind Victoria is a lifetime of hurt and neglect she has tried to forget. 2011. Big girl or not, she is terrific and discovers that herself. |
