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. 000778266 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000778266 650_0 $$aSelf-perception in women. 000778266 650_0 $$aSelf-esteem in women. 000778266 650_0 $$aWomen$$xAttitudes. 000778266 7001_ $$aScotti, Victoria,$$eauthor 000778266 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aLeavy, Patricia, 1971-$$tLow-fat love stories.$$dRotterdam, The Netherlands : Sense Publishers, 2017$$z9463008179$$w(OCoLC)963361163 000778266 830_0 $$aSocial fictions series. 000778266 852__ $$bebk 000778266 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-94-6300-818-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000778266 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:778266$$pGLOBAL_SET 000778266 980__ $$aEBOOK 000778266 980__ $$aBIB 000778266 982__ $$aEbook 000778266 983__ $$aOnline 000778266 994__ $$a92$$bISE
