Faith Andrews

I used to imagine that life would be easier, more enjoyable, if I were tall, blond, and supermodel thin. But real life-like the average, every day woman-is full of curves and imperfections, and many opportunities to learn that it's not the number on the scale that measures the capacity of your heart. After years of struggling with poor self esteem and too many crash diets to count, I finally got wise-and hired a trainer. With an enthusiastic push from my brother's fiance and more motivation than a Joel Osteen sermon, I, Madeline "Leni" Moore, am ready to ditch the oh-woe-is-me act. That is, until I smack head-on into a tree and collide with him. Lane Sheffield is the guy you drool over from afar. One look at him the first day on the runner's track, and my panties are up in flames. He's out of my league. Slim, sleek, and athletic to my plump, dull, and unfit. Lane has no reason to like me, but to my utter shock . . . he does and this newfound attention from the opposite sex has me all sorts of baffled. What starts out as a healthy journey to lose some of the extra me, turns into a quest to find my true self. Will the need to fit in and finally have someone to call my own lead me to my weight loss goal or my happiness goal? I've focused so long on being skinny, what will it take for me to learn the ultimate lesson-that beauty is only skin deep?"
