Eagle Harbor Book Company will host New York-based author Sarai Walker, author of “Dietland,” at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 28.

In her debut novel, the writer whose works have previously appeared in numerous national publications — including Seventeen and Mademoiselle — introduces readers to Plum Kettle.

Kettle does her best not to be noticed, because when you’re fat, to be noticed is to be judged.

Or mocked. Or worse.

With her job answering fan mail for a popular teen girls’ magazine, she is biding her time until her weight-loss surgery. Only then, she believes, can her true life as a thin person finally begin.

Then, when a mysterious woman starts following her, Kettle finds herself falling down a rabbit hole and into an underground community of women who live life on their own terms. There, Kettle agrees to a series of challenges that force her to deal with her past, her doubts and the real costs of becoming “beautiful.”

At the same time, a dangerous guerrilla group called “Jennifer” begins to terrorize a world that mistreats women, and as Kettle grapples with her personal struggles, she becomes entangled in a sinister plot with explosive consequences.

“Sarai Walker is an immensely talented writer and her debut novel, ‘Dietland’ — filled with wit, wisdom and wonder — is a pleasure,” said Jill McCorkle, author of “Life After Life.”
