What this book is about

Scott Carey is losing weight — the scale confirms it every day — but his body looks and feels the same. His condition pulls him into the lives of his lesbian neighbors, whose restaurant is suffering a community boycott. King's novella is unexpectedly gentle and heartwarming, more concerned with small-town kindness than horror.
