About this title

Synopsis

Since she can remember, Faith has been bullied about her weight. If it wasn’t her school friends, it was her mother. Now the teasing has even leaked into her relationship by a man who is supposed to love her, her fiancé, Esau. She has tried everything to lose the weight including skipping meals altogether, but nothing seems to work. In fact, her wedding dress has been let out so many times, she might to have buy a whole new one. Her inability to lose weight and her frequent binges could be due to the fact that she suspects her fiancé is using her. Though he constantly makes negative comments about her weight, he loves all of the perks that come along with dating the boss’ daughter. While traveling with him on a business trip to Jamaica, she realizes that the slender ideal she was taught in America does not exist everywhere. In fact, her curves are a benefit instead of a disadvantage. While Esau works, Faith spends most of her free time with Hosea, a Jamaican architect who likes a woman with meat on her bones. Will Esau win Faith’s affections again or will he lose to Hosea? What happens when a plus-size woman starts to value her curves? Find out in Seeing Faith: When Life Throws You Curves.
