With BIG GIRL, romance master Danielle Steele crafts a contemporary tale of a young woman trying to break free of her cruel parents and make it on her own. Victoria Dawson is a chubby girl, and has been made to feel unworthy by her status-hungry parents. She leaves Los Angeles to distance herself from her family, and starts a new job teaching in New York City.

Industry Reviews
"What makes BIG GIRL fascinating is its chronicle of Victoria's struggles with her weight, a subject Americans aren't quite sure how to talk about right now....[W]e root for Victoria in her battles with her family, low self-esteem and size....Steel deserves praise for addressing weighty issues."
