title: Fairy Tales for Grown People # 1 a Grown Up Fairy Tale
author: Spencer, Dorma
description: This is a story about a fifty-nine year old African American woman, but it is also a story for all women who still long for their happily ever after. The heroine is not drop dead gorgeous with a figure to die for, she’s fat. She’s getting older, and the prospects for love are getting slimmer. That’s all she really wants. Someone to be there when she gets home from work, someone to share a meal and a bed with. Not necessarily Prince Charming, but his cousin, the Duke of Regular Guy, would do nicely.
