Book Description
"A billion husbands are about to be replaced." From the author of Fight Club, the classic portrait of the damaged contemporary male psyche, now comes this novel about the apocalyptic marketing possibilities of a new product that gives new meaning to the term "self-help." Penny Harrigan is a low-level associate in a big Manhattan law firm with an apartment in Queens and no love life at all. So it comes as a great shock when she finds herself invited to dinner by one C. Linus Maxwell, a software mega-billionaire and lover of the most gorgeous and accomplished women on earth. After dining at Manhattan's most exclusive restaurant, he whisks Penny off to a hotel suite in Paris, where he proceeds, notebook in hand, to bring her to previously undreamed-of heights of gratification for days on end. What's not to like? This: Penny discovers that she is a test subject for the final development of a line of feminine products to be marketed in a nationwide chain of boutiques called Beautiful You. So potent and effective are these devices that women by the millions line up outside the stores on opening day and then lock themselves in their room with them and stop coming out. Except for batteries. Maxwell's plan for battery-powered world domination must be stopped. But how?

Beautiful You

Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
When I started writing Beautiful You, the title poem itself started to take on an image of strength. From the first line to the last, it demonstrates strength and hope in the midst of pain and disappointment: I look into your eyes Beyond a million tears To see you begging To rid you of your fears I want the first four lines to demonstrate that even though there is pain in whatever personal difficulties one faces that, in those tear filled eyes, there is a lot of hope. There is hope that you will get over whatever fear or difficulty you may face. I have always believed that tears are powerful healers. They help to release your emotions and sometimes helps you sort through things. I look at your mouth Beyond a tired frown To see you wondering When you’ll wear your crown When I see people who are down about the mouth, I know how tired they must feel. When you are awake and thriving and feeling great it is so easy to smile. I heard somewhere once that it takes more energy to frown than it does to smile. It takes more muscles to produce a frown than it does a smile! Frowning takes more energy so it makes you feel tired. Therefore, when I think of things that give me a hard time, I always try to remember that there are millions of other people out there with problems worse than what I have. It makes it easier for me to smile. Think about it: Next time you smile, notice that you hold yourself a little higher, stand a little taller. It changes the atmosphere around your being. I look into your heart Beyond its breaking beats To see you asking If you can endure the heat I feel that as long as my heart is beating, no matter how difficult the issue, I can get through anything. The heart is such a powerful muscle that it can help you power through any problem. Dedication and determination help make the heart stronger and the fight to power through your problems a little easier. I look at your hands Beyond their aching joints To see them praying Your anguished mind to anoint What do millions of people do everyday that gives them strength? Pray. I heard someone close to me say, at one point, she prayed so hard and so much her hands ached to keep them folded in prayer anymore! I knew how much she was relying on the power of faith to help heal her. How much more strong or beautiful can you get than that? No amount of words I write could ever demonstrate how powerful that is. I look into your soul Beyond its hopeful feeling To see you anticipating Its eventual healing In one’s belief you can get through difficulties, you tell yourself that it is only a matter of time before things improve. Time heals all wounds. If you believe that, as I have at certain times, you will see that with family, friends and a supportive network that healing can begin quickly and be softened by that love and support; it can be likened to a blanket that keeps you warm when the world is feeling cold. I look into All these parts of you And see nothing less Than beautiful you In the final four lines of Beautiful You, when you look at a being that is full of love, faith, determination and strength you find a beautiful person who uses all those characteristics to bring themselves through tough times. When I wrote this poem, as I point out in my introduction, I and several of my friends faced some difficult problems and or decisions. I felt that inner strength is what brought us all through our respective problems and allowed us to apply the lessons learned and strength gained to the future. I know I look back on what I had gone through and can proudly say to myself, ‘I guess I was stronger than I knew’. It was an incredible experience to write this second book. So much of it is me
