In the near future the Pro-Health Laws of the United States of America have become so oppressive that people seeking freedom over their bodies have established a new country: FatLand. In FatLand, life is good and scales are forbidden. Free from the hatred and discrimination of the Other Side, FatLanders have built happy, productive lives. But not everyone is flourishing.
Ava came to FatLand after her lover died from bariatric surgery. She threw herself into work, believing she was immune from love. Then she saw a beautiful dancer and lost her heart again.
Alvin and Reevie thought that by living in FatLand they could give their children and each other a chance for a life free of sizeim and racism. They didn't count on their lovely twin daughters' curiosity and yearning for excitement and danger.
Joann and Ed carved out what they thought was a peaceful existence. But their bright children are anything but happy in the well-appointed home and tranquil life their parents had created in FatLand.
Well-to-do, attractive and sophisticated,
Dara and Sandor thought they could make the FatLand Board dance to whatever tune they wished. But their way of life and beliefs are about to be tested more severely than either of them could have imagined.
Dreaming and determined, luscious
Margaret fled to FatLand after her rich, powerful paramour married a thin woman he didn't care for. She made a deal with her devil so she could publish the top flight newspaper FatLand badly needed. But then the devil called in the cards.
Soon these FatLanders and the freedom fighters on the Other Side will face forces threatening the health and happiness of all.
