Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the award-winning author of Mistress of Spices, the bestselling novel about the extraordinary bond between two women, and the family secrets and romantic jealousies that threaten to tear them apart. Anju is the daughter of an upper-caste Calcutta family of distinction. Her cousin Sudha is the daughter of the black sheep of that same family. Sudha is startlingly beautiful; Anju is not. Despite those differences, since the day on which the two girls were born, the same day their fathers died--mysteriously and violently--Sudha and Anju have been sisters of the heart. Bonded in ways even their mothers cannot comprehend, the two girls grow into womanhood as if their fates as well as their hearts were merged. But, when Sudha learns a dark family secret, that connection is shattered. For the first time in their lives, the girls know what it is to feel suspicion and distrust. Urged into arranged marriages, Sudha and Anju's lives take opposite turns. Sudha becomes the dutiful daughter-in-law of a rigid small-town household. Anju goes to America with her new husband and learns to live her own life of secrets. When tragedy strikes each of them, however, they discover that despite distance and marriage, they have only each other to turn to. Set in the two worlds of San Francisco and India, this exceptionally moving novel tells a story at once familiar and exotic, seducing readers from the first page with the lush prose we have come to expect from Divakaruni. Sister of My Heart is a novel destined to become as widely beloved as it is acclaimed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S 100 BEST MYSTERY AND THRILLER BOOKS OF ALL TIME • BOOKER PRIZE NOMINEE • “A taut and darkly funny contemporary noir that moves at lightning speed, it’s the wittiest and most fun murder party you’ve ever been invited to.” —MARIE CLAIRE Korede’s sister Ayoola is many things: the favorite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola’s third boyfriend in a row is dead, stabbed through the heart with Ayoola’s knife. Korede’s practicality is the sisters’ saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood (bleach, bleach, and more bleach), the best way to move a body (wrap it in sheets like a mummy), and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures to Instagram when she should be mourning her “missing” boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit. Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works. She dreams of the day when he will realize that she’s exactly what he needs. But when he asks Korede for Ayoola’s phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far she’s willing to go to protect her.
Book Synopsis Praise Be to the Plus-Sized Sister by : Kamané Malvo Marshall
Download or read book Praise Be to the Plus-Sized Sister written by Kamané Malvo Marshall and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-06-27 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Summary 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, Daddys 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.

Brené writes, “This book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution.

Book Synopsis My Revelation...Stepping with Power by : Cheryl E. Armstrong
Download or read book My Revelation...Stepping with Power written by Cheryl E. Armstrong and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-09-25 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my life's purpose? This writer asked herself those questions after recognizing that her functioning roles left an emptiness and a feeling of profound loss. Cheryl Armstrong instinctively knew that changing jobs, attending a different spiritual center, reading another self-help book, and expanding her circle of influence still left her seeking more reflective meaning. Her path forward would be a concentrated and inward journey. In the year-long self-directed inquiry, she found her voice and powerfully reconnected to her Source while doing the inner work. This is a personal story of liberation, a celebration of knowing that being consciously aware is the foundational key to making intentional choices. In this awareness, the opportunity opens to help others do the same. She learned that consistently practicing self-love and self-care is the only way to provide authentic service from a place of overflow. Service is universal, but it begins with attending to one’s needs and loving oneself with compassion, patience, and care. The seven growth practices she embodied on the self-awareness journey became a daily ritual and aligned her with her power and purpose. Dear Reader, join this writer, step into realization with power, and get into the feeling tone as you read My Revelation. Remain open and see what shows up as your revelation. One of the joys of authoring her book is demonstrating deep gratitude in honoring herself, her ancestors, and her family's living matriarch, thanking her family and friends, and recognizing that the master teachers on her path were prolific. The seeds planted while embracing their teachings will benefit others for this and future generations. The writer invites everyone to say a heartfelt Yes to oneself. What a dynamic way to live one's life: stepping into our authentic selves with self-love, power, joy, determination, and compassion. Everyone has the capacity, which begins with realizing and embracing the power within. Celebrate you!
