Don't Worry ... We Warned Them You Big Boned: One Amerasian Girl's Search for Love, Acceptance, and a Dress That Fits

Lila Beeby vowed never to return home. It was a place filled with unpleasant memories of her Korean mother being rejected by the WASPy in-laws. Making matters worse, Lila had been a chubby girl surrounded by cousins who looked like the Swedish Ski Team.

It’s no wonder she hightailed it to the big city as soon as possible. Now, decades later, she finds her still-chubby-self working in the family business right on her childhood Main Street. But a visit to her birthplace overseas triggers a series of events that some might call downright “mystical.”

Lila finally realizes her unfortunate waist-to-hip ratio doesn’t mean she also needs to be unfortunate in love. With the help of her best friends, she is able to forge an unexpected new career path, heal past wounds, and uncover a handsome stranger who was waiting for her all along.
