description: By the author of Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls and a heroine of the body image movement an intimate gutsy memoir about being a fat womanJes Baker burst onto the body positivity scene when she created her own ads mocking Abercrombie &amp; Fitch for discriminating against all body types -- a move that landed her on the Today Show and garnered a loyal following for her raw honest and attitude-filled blog missives.Building on the manifesta power of Things  this memoir goes deeply into Jes's inner life from growing up a fat girl to dating while fat. With material that will have readers laughing and crying along with Jes's experience this new book is a natural fit with her irreverent open-book style.A deeply personal take Landwhale is a glimpse at life as a fat woman today but it's also a reflection of the unforgiving ways our culture still treats fatness all with Jes's biting voice as the guide.
