After finishing the
book I was amazed at how Evelyn Couch transformed into a completely different
woman. She went from being suicidal to a woman with self-worth and a passion
for life.
Evelyn had her breaking
point when a man at the grocery store had called her a fat old bitch. She was
so upset by it and could not understand how people could be so terrible. And
for the first time in her life she became extremely angry. All of her rage
motivated her to want to change and do something with her life. On page 237
Evelyn's life took a sharp turn in the other direction. She was ready to put
her life back together. Of course with the help of Mrs. Threadgoode she was
able to realize that she could work at Mary Kay’s and sell make up.
She also decided
that it was time for her to serious about getting healthy and losing weight.
She sent herself out to a ranch for a few months where she really found
herself. She was popular among the women. Whenever a new person came to the
ranch everyone would tell them that they must meet Eyelyn because she was such
a sweet southern women. She made so many friends that would stay with her for
the rest of her life. They all vowed to meet once a year after they left the
ranch. Evelyn ended up losing 45 pounds by the time she left.
Now Evelyn had a job
and felt good about herself. Her love life with her husband even began to get a
little better. They were working things out and getting along well. Evelyn was
now a strong, healthy, confident women who was no longer in fear of her own
death but ready to enjoy the rest of her life the best she could.
