Beauty kills the Beast transports us to imaginary worlds through very real stories. Four short tales, told as metaphors to actual societal issues, state the struggles of young characters facing emotional abuse, social discrimination, transgender identity, drugs and human trafficking. Each story introduces us to the circumstances and emotional conditions lived by each character, under a close analysis of the author where she calls our attention to issues of self-esteem, respect for oneself and others, forgiveness, gratitude and love, and invites us, the reader, to voice our own point of view and face our own fears to empower ourselves for a better world. Each story faces the problem, goes through an analysis and opens to the endless possibilities of a life lived with love, knowing that all good is within and that with positive mindfulness and faith one can achieve the unthinkable and overcome any obstacles. The book is addressed to the young at heart and its intention is to shed light on modern issues and give a hand in the search for ones power and true love.

Beauty Bites Beast
Author: Ellen Snortland

Book Description
Looks at how family, religion, history, news and entertainment keep women thinking they are defenseless. Snortland contends that women are capable of defending themselves and their loved ones--if they learn how. She argues that is not the female's size, it is her culturally induced ignorance that makes her think she is helpless. Snortland offers a clarion call to all women to wake up and take charge of their own self-defense--both verbal and physical--and celebrates women (and kids) who fought back. --Adapted from publisher description.
