Kathryn "Kat" Murray has spent her entire life in the shadows-ignored, dismissed, or painfully visible in all the wrong ways. As a talented graphic designer at a prestigious New York advertising agency, Kat excels behind the scenes, letting others take credit for her hard work while her quick wit and humor remain her private weapons against a world that judges her by her size. From collapsing wicker chairs at trendy restaurants to cringe-worthy family dinners, Kat navigates life's embarrassments with an inner monologue that would leave comedy clubs in stitches-if only she'd share it.
When a series of hilariously mortifying incidents forces Kat to confront the insecurities she's tried desperately to hide, she begins to wonder if there's more to life than invisibility and self-deprecating jokes. Encouraged by her loving but sometimes clueless husband, Garvin, and unexpectedly championed by her agency's charismatic new boss, Colm McGrath-a hot-shot creative director fresh from Ireland whose keen eye spots Kat's talent despite her efforts to remain invisible-she embarks on a transformative journey that includes the laugh-out-loud ups and downs of weight loss surgery. Though Kat's marital status keeps their relationship strictly professional, Colm's support becomes the catalyst Kat never knew she needed.
Filled with snort-your-coffee-funny moments, warmth, and raw authenticity, Shattering Securities is a delightful romantic comedy and powerful exploration of self-worth, societal expectations, and the courage it takes to love oneself. It's a story for anyone who's ever felt defined by their appearance but knew deep down they were the funniest, most interesting person in the room.
