More Than | Diane Barnes
1 post | 2 read
You are obese, Mrs. Moriarty. Peggy Moriarty is stunned by her doctors words. She knows shes let herself go a bit, but she thinks the young, skinny physician is exaggerating. Her husbands death fourteen years ago left her to raise their twins, Grace and Greg, alone. But now that theyre teenagers, doing their own things, her only hobby is watching Messages from Beyond, a show about a medium who connects the grieving with their deceased loved ones. When the twins leave for college, they give Peggy a gift certificate for an exercise class. At first, Peggy is insulted. But once the sting wears off, she realizes if she gets in shape, she might gain the confidence she needs to go on her favorite TV show and talk to her husband one last time. With help from her new friends at the gym and Carmen Tavarez, the mother of Graces boyfriend, Peggy begins to emerge from her prolonged grief and spread her wings. She may soon discover that her sum is more than a mother, a widow, and her body.

I love discovering new authors and Diane Barnes is new to me. After reading the book blurb, I was intrigued. More Than is the story of Peggy and her struggle to find herself, move on from the death of her husband and the idea of being an empty nester. I loved Peggy and could easily relate to her struggles with weight and wondering just what to do when her twins moved away to college. I can‘t wait to read Diane‘s next book!
