When she was in her early forties, Frances Kuffel lost half her body weight. In Passing for Thin, Frances describes with unflinching honesty and a wickedly dark sense of humor her first fumbling introductions to her newly slender body, shining a light on the shared human experience of feeling uncomfortable in one's own skin. She gradually moves from observer to player--enjoying for the first time flirting, exercising, and shopping-as she explores the terrain on the "Planet of Thin." As Frances gradually comes to know--and love--the stranger in the mirror, she learns that her body does not define her, but enables her to become the woman she's always wanted to be.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
