Sizzling tacos...peanut butter...bagels with
cream cheese. The enemy pursued BarbaraAvers
everywhere, invading her nostrils, seducing her
taste buds, disguising itself in toffee-colored
clouds, raspberry mousse roses and designer
dresses just the shade of creme caramel.
It began the night her best friend died from lung
cancer, when a grief-stricken Barbara flung her
last carton of cigarettes into Lake Michigan. That
was in February, when she weighed 105 pounds.
Now day by day, her appetite grows bigger and so
does Barbara. Her husband Franklin, an ambitious
lawyer running for political office, is spending
more time with his blonde, slim campaign man-
ager.
Her children are ashamed of her. Barbara crams
another jelly doughnut into her mouth as her
world begins to crumble.
Moving through the terrifying world of Weight
Watchers, Nutrisystems and Nautilus, Barbara
watches her problems expand with her waistline.
"If only I were thin again," she thinks, "my Life
would be perfect once more."
But perfect it never was--or the chance to re-
sume her newspaper career wouldn t be quite so
tempting. Nor would she be quite so unsettled
and pleased at the amorous attentions of Mac, the
paper s virile, irreverent crime reporter. Sud-
denly, Barbara s world is expanding too.
