John Frederick is a man of
considerable substance, in every sense of the word. Rich, intelligent,
reclusive, and very large, John Frederick lives to eat. His everyday needs are
tended to by Mrs. Floyd, his house manager, and by a never-ending parade of personal
chefs.
Enter Lexie Alexander, the latest applicant for that once-again vacant position. A young woman of magical sensibilities, fresh out of culinary school and still recovering from a recent personal tragedy, Lexie lives to cook. As time passes, a love of food, musical comedy, and tea begins to weave a connection between John Frederick and his new chef―but then a major medical crisis completely turns life at Frederick House upside down, threatening the bond John Frederick and Lexie have forged.
Size Matters is the story of how people interact with each other and with the world, and what happens when the structure of a person’s life, their self-image, and all their familiar coping mechanisms are shattered.

About the author:
Cathryn Novak has had a love affair with words that began as
soon as she could read. After graduating with a degree in Communications and
Public Policy from U.C. Berkeley, Cathryn did a stint in advertising before
devoting the rest of her professional career to public service. During that period
she wore many hats including speech writer, policy analyst, and investigative
report writer. Her monograph on the Los Angeles Police Commission, The Years of Controversy, was published by the Police Foundation in Washington, D.C.
Now retired, Cathryn has returned to her first love, the world of fiction. Size Matters is her first novel.
