Til Carey and Bessie Muller were roommates. They seemed as different as two people could be. Til was lithe and beautiful and usually had a dozen boys chasing her. And Bessie--well, Bessie had a problem she refused to face. She was fat and missed out on a lot because of it. On weekends she stayed in and did what she was best at - writing. It was only when she began to get critical of those around her that her friendship with Til nearly ended. Then Bessie realized it was time to take a good look at her own life and her own problems.
