Creative Writing:

Linda is currently at work writing a nonfiction memoir, Fat Man's Daughter, which focuses on the impact weight can have on parenting and perceptions. For most of her life, Linda's dad weighed more than 400 pounds, but despite his morbidly obese status, Linda thought of him only as Dad until he died in November 2003, and she was left to deal with her anger caused by her acceptance and his actions that allowed the limits weight placed on his life.
