When blonde, rubenesque paralegal Jenny Taylor is coaxed by her boss Lissa to a dance sponsored by the Midwestern chapter of RADFAm, a national fat advocacy organization, this wild new romantic world throws her into a spin. For within the group's gang of full-figured friends and their admirers lies the tantalizing chance for love and betrayal, couplings and contretemps. The well-rounded cast of suds-worthy singles includes: Misty Shores, super-sized spiritual guide and entrepreneuse Greg Dillman, Armani-armored chubby chaser on the prowl Connie Donovan, a raven-tressed and roundly rumped fashion diva who mows a swath of spurned paramours Paul Daily, a lanky teacher who learns more than he'd imagined about plump pretties, and Joseph Rivera, a hunky sous chef who's forever seeking a BBW who measures up to his ideal. It's robust, comic romance as Jenny and her friends flesh out the truth about soap opera: It's not just for the rich and slender. Measure By Measure is a Tales of the City for the fat and fabulous!
