Synopsis
In this candid memoir, Emmy Award-winner Camryn Manheim recalls her days as a fat teenager who abused drugs and brought great shame upon her family. She attributes her adolescent problems to an overwhelming pressure to be thin. After surviving her teen years, Manheim finally accepted herself, regardless of her dress size, and grew determined to become an actor. In this autobiography, she relates her experience of struggling with drama teachers and directors who refused to take fat women seriously.

Industry Reviews
"The writing is as fresh and friendly as the Emmy winner's speech....You'll want the author to come over to your house and gab....Anyone could benefit from her lessons in living large."
Entertainment Weekly - Lisa Schwarzbaum (05/07/1999)
"She rides a motorcycle around New York City, sports 12 holes in her ears, and freely volunteers that she is 'fat.' She is Camryn Manheim, and this is her year."
Zeidner
"Forget about butter substitutes. The real breakthrough for fat people this year is Camryn Manheim. She's sensible. She's attractive. She's admire able."
Hoffman
