Someone has the strength to be sane, and let a woman "just be". Someone can look the societal ideal in the eye and say "no thanks, I'm valuable as I am".

Women are tired and overstressed from doing it all. The lengths we go to in order to "fit the ideal body image" are undervalued. We need a collective "enough already", and to send out the message that who we are as individuals

is worth enough.

LIKE YOU MRS. BALLARD, I AM A FULL SIZE WOMAN. I ALSO WRITE ROMANCE STORIES OF PLUS SIZE WOMAN BUT MY STORIES ARE FOR MY ENJOYMENT AND PEACE OF MIND AFTER SPENDING A DAY DEALING WITH FAMILY AND CAREER. I SEARCHED FOR BOTH OF YOUR BOOKS AND WAS HAPPY TO ORDER THEM FROM BARNES AND NOBLES. I FOUND BOTH BOOKS VERY ENJOYABLE AND LEFT ME FEELING PROUD TO BE A LARGE SIZE WOMAN WHO CAN

APPRECIATE THE GREATNESS INSIDE OF ME. AGAIN , THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR TALENT.
