      abstract = {"'Low-Fat Love Stories' is a collection of short stories  and visual portraits based on interview research with women  about a dissatisfying relationship with a romantic partner  or relative, or their body image.  The stories focus on  settling in relationships, the gap between fantasies and  realities, relationship patters, divorce, abuse, childhood  pain, sprituality, feeling like a fraud, growing older, and  daily struggles looking in the mirror. Once upon a time and  happily ever after take on new meaning as the women's  stories reveal the underside of fairytales and toxic  popular culture.  Written in the first-person with language  taken directly from each woman's interviews, the stories  are raw, visceral, and inspirational. As a collection, the  stories and art set you on an emotional rollercoaster and  illustrate the different forms "low-fat love" may take, and  the quest for self-worth in the context of popular culture  that tells women they are never enough. The authors  developed an original method of "textual visual snapshots"  for this book."--Back cover.},
