This is the story of a brave and determined pear named Cora. Cora de Pere to be exact. Cora has a problem. She wants to lose weight. She's tired of all the embarrassing moments in her life and is ready to make some changes. Cora goes from strangling her scale to learning that no magic genie is going to help her to lose the weight. Cora will have to face her fears and quit playing games with her life. Her journey takes her to shark-infested waters and to almost ending up in a jar of pear salsa. Will she survive? Will she succeed? Only time will tell.My cover is of a fist with the thumb pointed up like an artist would do. All you see of the pear the stem and two leaves showing over the thumb. There is a thought bubble above with "Hi" written in it.
