520 2  "A candid, humorous account of the author's journey from 
       morbid obesity and drug addiction to vibrant health and 
       happiness"--Provided by publisher. 
520 2  "'What happens when Tony Soprano meets Deepak Chopra? 
       That's how people have described my story. I might throw 
       some Woody Allen in there and a dash of Hunter S. 
       Thompson.'  So says Frank Ferrante of his amazing journey 
       from obesity and drug addiction to vibrant health and 
       happiness. At 54 years old, Ferrante was the least likely 
       candidate for a major personal transformation. He thought 
       that 'vegan' was a planet. Wellness was not in his 
       vocabulary, and he couldn't be bothered with self-help. He
       was also, however, for those very reasons the best 
       candidate for a major personal transformation. He weighed 
       close to 300 pounds and suffered from a slew of issues 
       that were his unhappy legacy as an ex-junkie and ex-
       alcoholic. They included hepatitis C, chronic fatigue, 
       joint pain, respiratory issues, depression, suicidal 
       thoughts, and a libido that had gone into early 
       retirement. One day, he stumbled into a place called Cafe 
       Gratitude--a vegan raw food restaurant run by three 20-
       something hipsters. Unbeknownst to him, they'd been 
       thinking about finding a fat guy, filming him on a raw 
       food diet, and making a documentary that would be the 
       polar opposite of Super Size Me. Ferrante was looking for 
       something, anything, to create a shift in his life. As he 
       says, 'Like zillions of people, I was hungry not so much 
       for food, but for love.' Never mind that he was old enough
       to be the boys' father or that he'd ridiculed the New Age 
       herd for years--he accepted them pretty much on the spot 
       as his new 'transformational cheerleaders' and began a 
       redemptive odyssey that changed every single aspect of his
       life. In his book May I Be Frank, he writes about being 
       the subject of their documentary movie, and also what 
       happened next, post-transformation: he found love"--
