Whitney Thore: I Do It with the Lights on: And 10 More Discoveries on the Road to a Blissfully Shame-Free Life
Description
From the star of TLC's My Big Fat Fabulous Life, comes a memoir revealing how she became one of the leading faces of the body positivity movement. Her story will teach other young women how to be confident no matter their shape or size. Whitney Thore weighs 360 pounds and she is totally, completely, truly... happy. But she hasn't always been the exuberant, confident woman you see on TV. In this book, for the first time, Whitney opens up about her journey to self-acceptance and her fight to overcome the darkest moments of her life: a sudden 100-pound weight gain in college on her previously average-sized frame, a diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) which makes losing weight difficult for some women, followed by years of crippling depression and even more weight gain. But in the past ten years, Whitney has turned everything around and learned to love and accept her body. While she is actively trying to lose 100 pounds in order to stay healthy, she also believes that everyone deserves to love him or herself exactly as they are. And with her first book, she'll show the world how to do it.
Well-known tales get gruesome revisions--in many cases bringing them closer to the dark, sinister ways they were told eons ago. Several tales in this book are based on chilling versions collected by the brothers Grimm in the nineteenth century. For example, this new collection presents a Cinderella who, like the heroine in the brothers Grimm story, is known as the Cinder Wench. In this version, readers will discover a young lady tormented by a stepmother who is far more wicked and frightening than the villain we find in most of today's watered-down renditions. All who relish the macabre atmosphere that dominates the Cinder Wench's tale will want to acquaint themselves with all stories in this scary collection. They'll find-- "A jaw-droppingly beautiful book." Marvellously atmospheric tale of four strangers summoned to a grand but neglected villa on the Italian coast. Each of them has been named in a will, but not one of them knows I Do It with the Lights on: And 10 More Discoveries on the Road to a Blissfully Shame-Free Life download ebook their benefactress...Four very different people are named in a will. Delia, an opera singer robbed of her voice by illness; George, an idealistic scientist who cannot face what his skills have created; Marjorie, desperately poor and unable to dislodge her writer's block; and Lucius, ostensibly in control but whose personal life is in chaos. All are summoned to the Villa Dante, home of the late Beatrice Malaspina. But who was she? While they wait to find out, the villa begins to work its seductive magic. With its faded frescoes, overgrown garden and magnificent mediaeval tower, it is unlike anywhere they have been before. Slowly, four characters who have gone to great lengths to hide their troubles find that change - and even hope - is possible after all. But the mysterious Beatrice has a devastating secret to reveal that will affect them all...A beautiful evocation of Italy in the aftermath of World War Two, the personal consequences of living through such a time, and a celebration of humankind's ability to heal and learn to love again, this most absorbing novel will win Elizabeth Edmondson a host of new fans.
