From the publisher:

"The second book from Stamped Books is Big Women, Big Girls - a small, thick multi-colored book with flash fiction by Cate Stevens-Davis. The book itself has long "hairs" coming off the side and thick pages that range in size.The text gives insight into the world of plus-sized women; It enters into their insecurities, but also their passions. The stories range from heartfelt, encounters to hilarious bar pick-ups."

The writer bio for this book is also really excellent:

"Despite what you've heard about fat people, actual fat person Cate Stevens-Davis has fallen in and out of love, had adventures on three continents, and never been stuck in a chair. She has also earned an MFA from Chatham University in 2009 and her work has appeared in Six Sentences, the shady side review, The Linnet's Wings and others. Cate lives, writes, and fats around town in Pittsburgh, PA."
