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,
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, Kamané
Malvo Marshall
encourages her readers to keep the faith no matter what.
