From the Publisher:

When you have a passion for love this big, bold, and beautiful, you're...LIVING LARGE

From four fabulous bestselling authors come four stories of women with a plus-size joy for life who find the best of everything in the most unexpected places.

From Booklist:

Living Large presents four touching stories about curvaceous African American women at pivotal points in their lives--from divorce to pregnancy--and how they find new love and rediscover old passions. In Rochelle Alers' "Reunion," Elaine divorces her high-school sweetheart after 20-plus years of marriage and falls for her old chum Reuben, who has gone from class geek to gorgeous sheik. In Donna Hill's "Surprise," 52-year-old Elizabeth is surprised to find herself pregnant for the first time, and so are her husband and grown, adopted children. In Brenda Jackson's "Bare Essentials," Judge Dominique Kincaid has had a rough run at love and has sworn off men until she spots a handsome jogger who sets her pulse racing. In Francis Ray's "Strictly Business," Monica breaks up with Mr. Wrong, discovers Mr. Right living right next door, and does her best to separate business and pleasure after her father hires him. Full of humorous encounters, sweetly charming heroines, and the message that living large and loving one's self are good things, this gem of a book is sure to leave readers happy. Megan Kalan
