Description
Big Girl: A Story of Beauty, Self-Image, and Sisterhood
In the novel Big Girl, author Danielle Steel takes readers on an emotional journey that explores the meaning of beauty, self-image, sisterhood, and family. The story revolves around Victoria Dawson, a chubby little girl who has always felt out of place in her family, particularly in weight-conscious Los Angeles.
A Life of Struggles
Unlike her parents and sister, Victoria has always had to carefully watch what she eats, enduring her father's belittling comments about her body while her academic achievements go unnoticed. Food becomes a temporary source of comfort, but she knows that she needs to escape her toxic environment.
After college, she moves to New York City, where she lands her dream job as a high school teacher. In the bustling city, Victoria finds purpose and begins a personal war against her weight at the gym. Despite the tension with her parents, she remains close to her younger sister, Grace, who is about to get married.
The Power of Sisterhood
Victoria and Grace may be polar opposites in terms of looks, but their bond is unbreakable. Concerned about Grace's decision to marry a man who resembles their narcissistic father, Victoria worries about her sister's future happiness. Meanwhile, Victoria's own lack of romantic prospects leaves her feeling like a failure.
As the wedding approaches, a chance encounter, a painful betrayal, and a family confrontation bring Victoria to a turning point in her life. Behind her lies a lifetime of hurt and neglect that she has tried to forget. Ahead of her lies the challenge of accepting herself as she is, celebrating her own beauty, and claiming the victories she deserves.
Discovering True Worth
Regardless of her size, Victoria learns that she is strong, capable, and deserving of happiness. Through the trials and triumphs, she embraces her unconventional beauty and learns to truly love and accept herself.
