Author Description

The pathetic love life of Ansel Deusledorf, a stand-up comedian in Hollywood who uses his unfortunate looks as fodder for his monologues, exists on the drop-dead gorgeous cast-offs of his handsome roommate. His relationships are short-lived and shallow... until he meets a stout, Midwestern girl named Greta, who challenges his beliefs and inspires him to be a better man. Before he can appreciate her appealing qualities, he has to first recognize and examine his own skewed and long-held definition of beauty; no small feat when he's been brainwashed by Hollywood's narrow standards. Greta hopes he'll come to his senses, but how long will she be willing to wait? Will he realize his mistake in time? And even if he does, is there just too much to forgive?
