Book Description
Twenty seven year old Sophie is a beautiful happy plus size girl living her dream of owning and operating a boutique in a pretty southern Virginia town. She has great clothes, great friends, is happily single and isn't interested in changing any of it for a man. Gorgeous, cynical and mega rich property tycoon Liam Moran only dates super thin society women or models and isn't impressed at all by Sophie when they first meet. He has plans to convert parts of Sophie's town into a shopping mall and is convinced he won't meet any opposition from anyone, let alone a woman. The project becomes more difficult than he ever imagined when it becomes clear he needs Sophie's land for his development. She isn't impressed by his money, his temper, or his looks and doesn't want a shopping mall in her town. Sophie promptly organizes the locals to resist Liam's plans, placing herself directly in his path. Liam finds himself increasingly attracted, against his will, to the outspoken and lovely Sophie, who challenges all his accepted notions of beauty and how women behave around rich men, and she in turn finds it more and more difficult to resist the kind but wounded heart she can see under his ruthless exterior. Liam and Sophie are on a collision course over the property development as well as their own long held prejudices. Money, ambition and rejection also create enemies, and Liam's past behavior with women comes back to create a violent and dangerous confrontation that they must deal with before they can be together.

Book Description
About The Book The Law of gravity is an inescapable truth of the universe. Sometimes, tectonic shifts happen, lightning strikes, earth shatters, and we fall flat on our face at rock-bottom. We find ourselves engulfed in darkness, silence, and solitude- Finding this to be a perfect breeding ground, our opportunistic demons crawl into our minds gnawing us with their scrawny mindsets. We give in and lose it. We break and how! But how do you know what you’re truly made up of? When you break open! Incidentally, that’s how stars are made too! About The Author Swati Sharma was born & brought up in New Delhi, INDIA. She lives in her den in Gurugram- Haryana, INDIA. Her parents named her ‘Abhilasha’ (A Wish!) as she was born. However, Swati got her first name changed when she was barely three years old since she didn't like it! Swati carries her steel-willed (not iron-willed for iron rusts!) mother's maiden surname. Simply because her much evolved father (A Great Man ahead of time itself!) didn't believe that both- Legacy & lineage should be in the father's surname only! After all, both a sperm and an egg make a life!

Praise Be to the Plus-Sized Sister
Author: Kamané Malvo Marshall
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1441541381
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
Praise Be to the Plus-Sized Sister is a semi-autobiographical tale of seven women from the San Francisco Bay Area who are connected to each other by six-degrees-of-separation. Seeking redemption from heartbreak, infidelity, poor choices, rejection, self-sabotage, low self-esteem, and emotional and physical abuse, Natasha, Zinnia, Israel, Addison, Celeste, Lila, and Liberty endure the social and psychological pressures of being full-figured black women in a thin obsessed society. With wit, intelligence, glamour and style, and a twofold portion of sass, these soulful sisters possess faith in the midst of the storm, hope when tomorrow is not promised, and strength of character when giving up seems easier than doing the right thing. Praise Be to the Plus-Sized Sister is made up of six stories of redemption: Out of the Mind of Israel Ming, Daddy´s Girls, The Vibrator Virgin, Count it all joy, Saving Sister Jared, and Forgiving Liberty. Beautifully flawed, audaciously determined, and at times downright hilarious, Praise Be to the Plus-Sized Sister represents a new voice, an underrepresented story about the struggle of a unique minority group that has been misunderstood for a long time. Written in the rich and colorful language of the African American experience, by no means is this book tame. It deals with real issues women endure in modern day society, paying special attention to plus-sized African American females who confront prejudice and discrimination on three fronts: race, gender, and size. With messages of hope, self-acceptance, and second chances, Kamane’ Malvo Marshall encourages her readers to keep the faith no matter what.
