Book Description
Mimi loves flowers, crystal chandeliers, kittens, Céline Dion’s voice, the color pink, swaths of satin, the Queen of England, and chocolate. Far, far too much chocolate. She craves beauty and her own overweight self is emphatically not beautiful, at least in her own eyes. And despite her size, she doesn’t feel whole because all she knows about her father is that he was a sperm bank donor seventeen years before. Mimi is a fractured soul. Although she knows it could be disastrous, she is drawn to her school’s prom because it will be held in a beautiful ballroom and, for once, she’ll be able to dress up. But her instincts prove to be right and, after merciless bullying, she flees in tears. Mimi knows that she needs to take charge of herself to find a person she can love within her self-imposed wall of weight. She leaves her doting mother and Montreal behind and heads to Toronto to find her father. What she finds is far more important than anything she could possibly have imagined. Francis Chalifour’s ability to bring the unforgettable Mimi to life makes this a novel that will touch the reader’s funny bone and heart.

My busty wife Mimi is a flight attendant, and Morris Blackmore flies first class. Flying scares me. But then, I'm no Morris Blackmore -- and my wife knows it. My wife is working in first class on this flight, while I sit back in economy. Internet billionaire Morris Blackmore taunts me about the difference between us before I've even boarded. I'm not just scared. I'm terrified. And for some reason, kind of excited. I had no idea my wife shows so much cleavage when she's working. I had no idea Morris Blackmore has such an appetite for married Asian flight attendants. I understand that Mimi might have some indiscretions with a better-looking, richer, stronger man than me. But Morris Blackmore wants to give my wife a baby?! It's utterly humiliating. All I can do is watch. And clean up.

Their concept for the genre is more often than not motivated by the supposedly mediocre quality of the librettos or scripts to which the works are set.
