Book Description
Special Agent Chancellor is under enormous pressure from his new FBI boss because he looks fat. Skinny Hope Olson has the opposite problem. Her parents think she's starving herself and they go to extremes to save her. Chance and Hope meet after she escapes a weird commando team of abductors. She overheard them mention another snatch in Baltimore, but didn't hear enough for Chance to intervene. The Baltimore victim resists the criminals and is killed. The kidnappers don't give up on grabbing Hope again, so as they chase her around the country, Chance chases them in a desperate effort to rescue her, enlisting other agents in his unorthodox escapade, while engineering a successful take-down of a Russian spy, on route. He far exceeds his legal and geographic jurisdiction, knowing he will at least be fired and possibly prosecuted, but Hope is worth it.

Book Description
Slimming and dieting has become such a fixation among Singaporeans that manufacturers and distributors of weight-reducing products are laughing all the way to the bank. However, the recent spate of controversies surrounding slimming pills is no laughing matter.This book is a collection of articles accessible to anyone who wants to know more about the phenomenon, its consequences and related topics. Its purpose is not to champion the ?ideal? of being slim, but rather to provide a platform for meaningful discussion and for educating the general public about a healthier way of living.Written by people from all walks of life, such as doctors, lawyers, academics, counsellors and journalists, the book takes a thoughtful and at times light-hearted look at Singaporeans' ?obsession? with their body image, and reflects on other issues it raises.The star attractions of this book are interviews with two of Singapore's best-loved comedians, Moses Lim and Hossan Leong. Let them give you a humorous first-hand account of how they view and come to terms with their own body size and turn it into confidence both on and off the stage.

Slim Pickins' in Fat Chance, Texas
Author: Celia Bonaduce
Publisher: Lyrical Press
ISBN: 1601834314
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
"A fresh, heartwarming voice." —Jodi Thomas, New York Times bestselling author It’s been a year since an eccentric billionaire summoned seven strangers to the dilapidated, postage stamp-sized town of Fat Chance, Texas. To win a cash bequest, each was required to spend six months in the ghost town to see if they could transform it—and themselves—into something extraordinary. But by the time pastry chef Fernando Cruz arrives, several members of the original gang have already skedaddled... Fernando’s hopes of starting a new life in Fat Chance are dashed when the town’s handful of ragtag residents—and a mysterious low-flying plane—show him just how weird the place actually is. His hopes of making over the town’s sole café into a BBQ restaurant for nearby ranchers threaten to turn to dust as a string of bizarre secrets are revealed. But just when the pickins’ couldn’t get any slimmer, the citizens of Fat Chance realize they might be able to build exactly the kind of hometown they all need—but never knew they wanted... Praise for Celia Bonaduce and her novels "A bingeworthy triology about smart, quirky women who feel like friends. In Much Ado About Mother she shows us just how strong (and funny) the mother-daughter bond can be. Loved it!" --Clare O'Donahue, author of The Kate Conway Mysteries "Celia Bonaduce writes well rounded, real life characters straight from the heart. I loved this book!" —Phyliss Miranda, New York Times bestselling author on A Comedy of Erinn "The Merchant of Venice Beach has a fresh, heartwarming voice that will keep readers smiling as they dance through this charming story by Celia Bonaduce." —Jodi Thomas, New York Times bestselling author
