The Opera Ain't Over

About the Book

Cynthia Lauri tells a tale of a lifelong battle with weight that impacted her life on every level: socially, financially, and health-wise. She settled for a marriage of convenience, experienced career frustrations and survived rejection (both personally and professionally), which led to isolation and loneliness, and finally a nervous breakdown.
