Yolanda Peterson has a cool apartment, good friends and family, and a new promotion to assistant manager at Behave, an upscale hair salon in Houston, Texas. But there's just one problem. Yolanda's thin. Not model thin. More like give-her-another-chicken-leg thin. It doesn't help that everyone says she has a pretty face while shaking their head at her lackluster body. It doesn't help that her younger sister, Daddy's favorite, has curves in all the right places, a gorgeous husband and three spoiled kids. It doesn't help that she works at a job where big butts and big breasts reign supreme, and it really doesn't help that the man she's been in love with for years, Maxwell, just wants to be "friends."
After years of getting teased and tortured for her thin appearance (and being nicknamed Six by her father because her body resembles the clock hands at the six o'clock hour) Yolanda does something she should have done years earlier: she gets mad.
With newborn confidence, wit and a lot of determination Yolanda struggles to find love and herself in this delicious tale of beauty coming from within.
