A Measure of Love — Jeanne Bowman

Nobody seeing Janey McGrath could imagine her needing the services of a beauty farm. She was stunning -- tawny hair, big brown eyes, and a lovely figure that had won her the top modeling job at Elaine's...but maybe not for long. Elaine liked her models needle-thin, and Janey had a way of putting on pounds where she could least afford them -- especially when her boyfriend, Jim Rainey, saw her dining on lettuce and tomato and insisted on feeding her! But what was a girl to do? She and Jim couldn't afford to get married for two years. In the meantime, Janey had to support herself and her grandmother, and modeling was her only means of support. It was Jim who suggested a vacation at the beauty farm which had a reputation for solving much weightier problems than Janey's. Desperate, Janey went -- expecting no miracles, never dreaming that in the process of losing ten pounds, a girl could find her real self.
