| Publisher Description: Sometimes love is so close, but sometimes just out of grasp. Doug loves Kate, but he wasn't her type; she wasn't interested in him. He accepted it and tried to protect his feelings. He had low self-esteem. She was different from him and thought a lot of herself; born with a perfect shape and clear skin. She made many friends and they were quick to please her. Doug was overweight; kids were mean and called him pudgy Dougy. He grew immune to smirks and insults. She was showered with kind words and praises. One day Kate had an accident and Doug was the only one there. He saved her life and she felt indebted to him. She brought him into her world. He suddenly had new friends and hung out with the cool kids. He lost weight, but had new problems. He tried to protect Kate from being a target and trophy for drug dealers and opportunist. It wasn't easy. |
