Title:Size Matters
Author:Cathryn Novak
Published:November 2016, She Writes Press
Format:Paperback, 200 pages
John Frederick is a man
of considerable substance, in every sense of the word. Rich,
intelligent, reclusive, and very large, John Frederick lives to eat. His
everyday needs are tended to by Mrs. Floyd, his house manager, and by a
never-ending parade of personal chefs.
Enter Lexie Alexander, the
latest applicant for that once-again vacant position. A young woman of
magical sensibilities, fresh out of culinary school and still recovering
from a recent personal tragedy, Lexie lives to cook. As time passes, a
love of food, musical comedy, and tea begins to weave a connection
between John Frederick and his new chef but then a major medical crisis
completely turns life at Frederick House upside down, threatening the
bond John Frederick and Lexie have forged.
Size Matters is
the story of how people interact with each other and with the world, and
what happens when the structure of a person s life, their self-image,
and all their familiar coping mechanisms are shattered.
