 Statures With No Limitations by Judith Fournie Helm

Genre: Contemporary, women's fiction

                      Rating: ★★★★

Statures of No Limitations by Judith Fournie Helm is a really thought-provoking read that tackles workplace discrimination in a unique way. We follow Heather as she brings together two incredibly talented female attorneys – one a dwarf, the other morbidly obese – who've been hidden away because of their looks.

Embarking on their own law firm, their journey is a tsunami of failures, which really highlights the harsh realities of "bodyism" they face. What truly stands out is the formidable bond of friendship that fuels their fight and provides much-needed humour amidst their struggles. While the initial plan seems a bit far-fetched, the subsequent professional obstacles feel very authentic. It’s a powerful story about resilience, celebrating unique strengths, and the vital support of true connection. It definitely makes you reflect on societal biases.
