Book Description
After World War II, the United States underwent a massive cultural transformation that was vividly realized in the development and widespread use of new medical technologies. Plastic surgery, wonder drugs, artificial organs, and prosthetics inspired Americans to believe in a new age of modern medical miracles. The nationalistic pride that flourished in postwar society, meanwhile, encouraged many Americans to put tremendous faith in the power of medicine to rehabilitate and otherwise transform the lives and bodies of the disabled and those considered abnormal. Replaceable You revisits this heady era in American history to consider how these medical technologies and procedures were used to advance the politics of conformity during the 1950s.

Book Description
“Sometimes in life, we feel that we have it all with the one we love, but we often forget that everyone can be replaced.” Chanel and Jamal are high school sweethearts, who seem to have it all together, but we all know that everything that glitters isn’t gold. Jamel has put Chanel through so much, yet she continues to hold onto the love that they share, until he pushes her too far. But has he pushed her far enough to finally walk away? Will someone come into her life and show her that Jamel’s seemingly irreplaceable love is replaceable after all? Da’sha is a mother of a handsome three-year-old son, whom she loves to death. She wants nothing more than to live a happy life and have a real family with her son’s father, Benz, but we all know we often meet people who change us. Can Benz get his family together before it’s too late or will someone sweep Da’Sha off of her feet and help her move on? Angie feels that her man is all that she needs and no one can take his place. That is until she catches the eye of another man, who just may prove her wrong and show her that her man is indeed replaceable. Can love keep them together or will Angie find that the grass really is greener on the other side? Join Chanel, Da’Sha, and Angie on their journey through life and love as they prove to the men in their lives that no matter how much history you may have, everyone is replaceable.

Book Description
Chanel finally found happiness. Real has come into her life and swept her off her feet. He proposed, and of course she said yes. Her career is taking off, and she is on cloud nine. When she finally starts her counseling to the community for men and women who dealt with abuse, depression, drugs and women who needed to just talk to someone, she never thought the person sitting across from her would make her feel as if she were replaceable in her own man’s life. Will she and Real make it down the aisle? Da’Sha finally told Benz what happened the night of her bachelorette party. She thought that telling him would clear her conscience and that they would move forward in their marriage. However, Benz doesn’t deal with the news well. He’s out for blood. Will he forgive her and move forward with their relationship, or will he end their marriage way before it even gets started? Angie thought telling RJ she was pregnant would be hard because he just started his job, but what was hard was for her to hear him asking if the baby was his, although the outcome isn’t enough to break them up. Though these couples seem to always bounce back and maintain their relationships, something aiming right at them will come and turn their whole world upside down.

There’s a Sliver of Truth hiding behind their steamy hookups. But is it love or simply lust? And what happens when a Mill Girl breaks the cardinal rule? —Cece— Men beg to touch my body. Yet, Dusty’s moves against mine in unspeaking eloquence. My heart stammers when we’re alone, and he growls my name. I hate that I love the strength of his arms. I love that I hate it too.
