Virginia Shreves has a
larger-than-average body. Well, not that much larger, but Virginia hates her body more than anything
else in this universe,except the fact that her best and only friend has gone to the other side of the Earth to Walla Walla where people examine onions. What made Virginia's life even worse (if that's possible) is that the other Sheveses are all slim, brilliaint, and impossible to live up with. Even after that, Virginia's life's still getting even worse: Froggy, Virginia's sort-of-boyfriend(ish) over heard her Mom talking to her about her "weight problems", and then it was the
phone call, a phone call that changes everything....a phone call that can ruin Virginia's life completely, or give her a brand new self.
