MY SWEET FAT VALENTINA
"Mi Gorda Bella"

Everyone who knows the young Valentina Villaneuva Lanz loves her. Her beautiful spirit and sweet disposition make up for her less-than-perfect physical appearance. Food is the salve that soothes her empty heart and nurtures her through the pain of having been exiled into boarding school at an early age. Just when fate seems about to smile on her, tragedy takes her mother's life and Valentina is forced to live under the hateful grip of her Uncle's menacing wife who endeavors to rob her of her inheritance.
Fate's grim sense of humor then shoots Cupid's arrow as valentina's cousin Orestes falls madly in love with Valentina, seeing straight through her pudginnes to the enchantment within. What follows is an intriguing tapestry of heartbreak and heroism; deception and discovery; and dramatic choices that will forever change the lives of those she loves and hates the most.
In Valentina's quest for justice, the startling truth emerges and she must choose between vindications and protecting her true love from an unveiling that could destroy his world. The masks will come off and she will be faced with the challenge of spending the rest of her life seeking forgiveness from the person whose love she can't live without, the person whose passion has inspired her to become an admirably beautiful and successful woman.
