Debut novelist Kate Stayman-London has turned in a truly insightful tale perfect for the times. With so much interest shown in the country for dating programs like "The Bachelorette" and others, Stayman-London posits the question, why are all the women seeking lasting love and commitment, slim, long legged and have to-die-for looks?
Enter Bea Shumacher, a well-known and successful fashion blogger in Los Angeles who is trying to get over the one man she has loved and lost, Ray Morretti. While viewing the successful, but declining in the ratings, show "The Main Squeeze," Bea blogs to her fans that for a reality show, why do they never have real women such as herself, a plus-size woman unashamed of her body?
