Nicole Clark Is Having a Baby (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780573710216)

Nicole is smart, successful, married to a hot guy-and unapologetically fat. But her formerly fat, now obsessively thin mom, Helen, fixates on Nicole's weight. When Nicole visits her hometown for her best friend's baby shower and reveals that she's also pregnant, mom and daughter are forced to confront how Helen's difficulty accepting Nicole's body-and her own-has shaped their relationship. A deeply felt, irreverent comedy about motherhood, anti-fatness, and the emotional legacy we pass on to our children.
