The Little Giant of Aberdeen County

Tiffany Baker

Mixes the exuberant eccentricities of John Irving's Garp, Anne Tyler's relationship savvy and the plangent voice of Margaret Atwood all the earmarks of a hit. Publishers Weekly

But this can t be right. You re a little giant! Truly Plaice part behemoth, part witch, part Cinderella is born larger than life into a small-minded town. Her birth rocks the pillars of tiny Aberdeen, New York, and breaks her family into smithereens. She spends a painful childhood in the shadow of her older sister Serena s beauty, and is teased mercilessly for her enormous physique. But when Serena unexpectedly vanishes and leaves her son in Truly s care, Truly must become mistress of a house she did not choose and the unwilling victim of her brother-in-law, Dr. Robert Morgan. Once her childhood tormentor, he now subjects her to brutal criticism and cruel medical experiments that test her endurance past breaking point but Truly may have more power than he realises
Tiffany Baker s debut is a rare and bewitching novel, with a heart as big as its heroine.
