Margie Sokoloff | 4 comments All I remember is that the main character has an illness from birth that causes her to be very large and she gains weight easily. She is a source of embarrassment to her parents and is practically raised by the housekeeper/cook? It takes place in the south.

What year was it published - or what year did you read it?

Any idea if the woman was white, black, or other?

Margie Sokoloff | 4 comments I don't remember the year (late 90's?). The woman was white.

Is it mass market fiction, literary fiction, genre fiction? Chick lit? Oprah-type book? Sad ending or happy ending?
