Freddie Heinz is a single, 29-year-old plus-size wedding cake baker/decorator who feels invisible most of the time due to her size and her still-single status. But she’s about to discover love comes in many shapes and sizes! Any woman who has ever struggled with body image will enjoy this tale about a woman who finds the liberating love and acceptance she longs for. What Reviewers Are Saying: Miss Invisible is anything but! Between the layers of this story of a wallflower wedding cake baker is a truth every woman needs to hear—no one is invisible to God. Fredericka's struggles to be seen in her world of small-minded men (and small-waisted women) made me laugh and cry. This book is definitely some serious fun! Don't miss it.--- Marilynn Griffith, author of If the Shoe Fits and Made of Honor

Think YOU’RE self-conscious about your lack of cleavage? Natalie Moore is about to lose what little cleavage she has. And that’s just the beginning. She’ll shave her head, leave her church, fall for a man in scrubs, learn to tap, and flash a roomful of women. Reconstructing Natalie is the story of a woman whose breast cancer is the catalyst for some serious changes—not the least of which is her cup size! Holding tight to her old friends while reaching out to new ones, Natalie must redefine herself and her faith on new terms. What Reviewers Are Saying: "No way can you read Reconstructing Natalie without laughing, weeping, cheering, wincing, and above all rooting for this feisty young woman…. Be prepared for unflinching descriptions of what it's really like to deal with breast cancer on a daily basis…shared with honesty, humor, and heart." -Liz Curtis Higgs, Author of Mixed Signals

Phoebe's family has money troubles. Her spiritual life is dragging. She really, really misses her long-distance best friend, Lindsey. But all that's bearable because of Alex, the gorgeous man who shares her love of movies and actually likes women with a little meat on their bones. At last-a real boyfriend to kiss on New Year's Eve! But by New Year's Eve, Alex is in London, called home by a family emergency, newly engaged Lindsey has turned into Bridezilla, and the snooze button still sabotages Phoebe's morning quiet times. She needs a break, which is why she jumps at the cheap off-season fare and flies to England. She's not chasing Alex. Really. She just wants to broaden her horizons. What awaits Phoebe in the land of Mrs. Miniver and Notting Hill (and beyond) is nothing short of disaster . . . and nothing less than a miracle.

Not your typical, size two, chick-lit heroine, Phoebe Grant aspires to the madcap life of a forties-style career gal-she lives in a cool apartment (even if it does need a little work), works at the city newspaper (ok, she writes obits-but she's sure she'll get her dream job reviewing movies), and has a best girlfriend (that would be Lindsey) to play straight-woman to her life's witty script. In fact, aside from a steady stream of laughably bad blind dates, over-thirty Phoebe has a great life-even if her leading man appears to have missed his cue. But when she loses her job and her mother breaks both arms, Phoebe finds her carefully constructed screenplay being re-written in ways she hadn't planned. And when Lindsey secretly signs her up for an online personals service, the script suddenly becomes a slapstick. |
