Publisher's Synopsis

You will never see your body the same again.

Hope hates her body. She always has. The fact that she's a graphic artist who manipulates images of women's bodies for a living only makes matters worse.

Hope's teenage niece, Lana, has a physique Photoshop can't touch. But in her dance world, finesse in motion requires mastery of body, which, for Lana, spirals into obsession.

Looking into the mirror, Hope and Lana have in mind a continually altering ideal of beauty defined always as thinner than they are in the moment.

Hope turns to her preternaturally trim friend, Lilith, for help. Comedy ensues as Hope mimics Lilith's alpha female style, storming through life solving her problems and losing weight--that is until her new inauthentic persona leads to catastrophe. At her lowest, Hope meets Joy, a quirky mentor offering ancient truths of physical health and spiritual peace that will change Hope's and Lana's lives forever.
