The Little Giant of Aberdeen County by Tiffany Baker
Truly was a huge baby, killing her mother in childbirth. Truly continued to grow (due to an endocrine disorder), and by adulthood is by far the largest and tallest person in town. She poignantly tells her tale in this novel; of enduring the hardships of being the 'town freak', of watching the problems of her perfect, petite, beautiful sister, and of her degrading relationship with Robert Morgan, the town doctor. "I'd gotten a double helping of what the universe was serving, and it hadn't killed me yet. Instead, it was teaching me to live." Very good book.
