Story
Mary Brown is funny, gorgeous, and bonkers. She's also about 50lbs overweight. When she realises that she can't cross her legs and has trouble bending over to tie her shoelaces without wheezing like an elderly chain-smoker, it's time to take action. So, one rainy day she puts down her pizza and heads off to Fat Club, where she flirts, causes mayhem, and celebrates every pound lost with a huge glass of wine.

Story
For years, the town of Silver Bell, Arkansas has quietly mourned the hospital fire that claimed the lives of nine of its residents—the town doctor, a young expectant mother, and seven infants. So, when journalist Finn Hardwick is assigned the story as part of a national thirtieth anniversary memorial service, he arrives at the town ready to interview its residents, thinking they’ll be ready to share and eager to make headlines. He isn’t prepared for the resistance. Or for what appears to be a collective unwillingness to answer his questions.

All I want is a low-key Christmas in Alabama with my family. Well, that and the snow I believe is coming. My perfect holiday is ruined the moment Collins shows up in my mama’s kitchen…escorted by my county sheriff ex-boyfriend. Collins might be a successful surgeon in Atlanta, but I doubt he can last a few days in the small town of Wisteria, Alabama. However, if our love can withstand my gun-slinging, hog-killing family, then I’m sure we’re destined to be together. We just have to make it through Christmas.

Publisher's Summary
Welcome to the world of Mary Brown...the comic creation of best-selling novelist Bernice Bloom
Over half a million copies sold!
A chance meeting with an old school friend sends Mary Brown off on three fabulous adventures. First, it’s to a safari in South Africa. She arrives dressed like Meryl Streep in Out of Africa and ends the trip stuck in a tree wearing nothing but her knickers.
Next, she’s off on a cruise: It's the trip of a lifetime, featuring eat-all-you-can buffets and a trek through Europe with a 96-year-old widower called Frank and a friendship with a flamboyant Spanish dancer called Juan Pedro. There are a few issues to be dodged--like the ex-boyfriend who’s on the boat. Happily, there’s a handsome captain to distract her and some wonderful countries to enjoy.
Her final trip is to find inner peace on a yoga weekend. Mary’s never done yoga before, but how hard can it be? A bit of chanting, some toe touching, and a new leotard. Easy! She heads for the countryside to get in touch with her chi and her third eye. And that's when it all goes wrong.
Note: This book was previously released as a series of mini books in the Adorable Fat Girl series of books. It now has a new name and a sparkling new cover!
