Stevie Barrett, a thirty-two-year-old woman, had a heart attack two and a half years ago. Prior to this, she was the size of a "small, depressed cow." The heart attack led to a stomach-strangling operation, resulting in her losing 170 pounds. Now, she is less than half of her former self, both physically and mentally.
Stevie's backyard is a barren, dry landscape, with the exception of two pink cherry trees and one pink tulip tree. She sees this as a metaphor for her entire life, and believes that if she can fix her backyard, she can also fix her life. It's a simplistic and silly notion, but she can't seem to shake it.
Determined to take control of her life, Stevie has decided to plant a garden this summer. Despite her hands shaking as if there are "live circuits" inside them and a "floppy yellow hat" dancing ominously through her mind, she is committed to this endeavor.
Stevie's name is a story in itself. It's a story of the person she was and the person she is now. She no longer wheezes when she walks, but she is terrified of her handsome neighbor. People no longer treat her differently because of her weight, but she struggles with her self-esteem, especially when she has to dress up like a chicken on a street corner to earn extra money.
Hidden in Stevie's shed are the artistic, fantastical wooden chairs that she carves out of wood for therapy. These chairs are a reflection of her inner self, a place where she can express her creativity and find solace. Hidden in her heart are all the secrets and dreams she longs to share.
The story of Stevie Barrett, titled "Such a Pretty Face," is an honest, funny, and engaging tale that will make readers laugh and cry, sometimes simultaneously. It is a story of transformation, self-discovery, and the pursuit of happiness in the face of adversity.
