title: All About Vee
author: Purtill, C. Leigh
description: Beautiful. Talented. Not a size zero.
  
  Meet Veronica May -- Vee to her friends. Vee is a bubbly, gorgeous, eighteen-year-old theater actress from Chester, Arizona who put off college, her life, and
  her questions about her mother's death twelve years ago to care for her widowed father.
  
  Then Daddy decides to remarry, and Veronica feels replaced. She decides then and there, it's time for Big Vee to shine! She escapes Chester and follows in the footsteps of her mother, an aspiring actress herself, to Hollywood, California!
  
  But is LA ready for an extra large dose of Vee's can-do confidence? Can a big-boned girl like Veronica survive among the size zeros and (gulp) double zeroes?
