She's Come Undone meets The Giant's House in this spellbinding tale about a girl who grows physically and emotionally beyond her small town's wildest expectations.

When Truly Plaice-part Behemoth, part Witch, part Cinderella-is born larger than life into a small-minded town, her birth rocks the pillars of tiny Aberdeen, New York, and breaks her family into smithereens. Truly spends a painful childhood in the shadow of her older sister Serena's beauty and is teased mercilessly for her enormous physique. But when Serena unexpectedly leaves her son in Truly's care, she must become the woman of a house she did not choose. Her brother-in-law, Doctor Robert Morgan, was one of her childhood tormentors and, as an adult, subjects her to brutal criticism, cruel medical testing, and degradation to the breaking point. It's only when Truly finds her calling helping townspeople with herbal remedies that she begins to regain control of her life. However, unearthed family secrets will lead to a devastating betrayal that will break the Morgan family apart forever, and as Truly reckons with her own demons, she must come to terms with her role in Aberdeen's destiny and the possibility of love in unexpected places.
