Weight explores what it is like to matter in a physical sense--we step on a scale and a number represents us--and to matter in ways that defy measuring. What forces ties us to our loved ones and to our existence? In this volume, Fran Schumer addresses those questions in direct and always readable prose. In embracing what is free in herself, in her children, and on our planet, she reminds us that we do matter. All of us have weight.
