To Jennifer Thompson, her body and her soul have always been two distinctly separate things--there's Jen, the girl she's been since childhood, the dork obsessed with 90s sitcoms and comic books and Christmas jumpers. Then there's Jennifer--the 304-pound monster, tall, heavy and daunting. Too big to feel pretty, too dark to feel accepted, Jen is surprised to strike a secret friendship with Brandon Rogers, star quarterback and boyfriend of her light, thin and perfect cousin Faith. But when she begins to intrude on the carefully-constructed world of Richmond High's social elite, things start to spiral..... Join Jennifer as she charts the path of accepting her body and colour, and avoiding the mistakes so many women have made before her, including her own mother. REVIEWS: "Brilliant!" - my mother. "Wait, you can actually write?" - my brother. "This is so such a good book. But why did you call her Jennifer? Is it because you think I'm fat??" - my friend, Jennifer.

"What happens when a girl haunted by a shattered past finds herself in a family that doesn't know how to mend what has been broken? Seven brothers. One hidden truth. And a secret that refuses to remain buried." Alia was only fifteen when her world fell apart,once again. Years after enduring a trauma no child should ever have to face, she is thrust into an unfamiliar life, far from everything she once knew. Her mother has remarried, found happiness, and embraced a new beginning. But for Alia, healing is not as simple as turning a page. Now living in a grand house with seven stepbrothers who are little more than strangers, Alia carries scars that cannot be seen and memories she cannot bring herself to share. Beneath her quiet exterior lies a pain far too heavy for someone her age , a past she has spent years trying to outrun. They call her family. They tell her she is safe. But Alia has learned that safety can be fragile, and trust is not easily given by those who have been hurt before. As buried secrets begin to resurface and old wounds threaten to reopen, Alia finds herself standing at a crossroads between fear and hope, silence and truth. Will this newfound family become the refuge she never believed she deserved, or will the shadows of her past follow her into the only place she has left to call home? When silence speaks louder than words, can love be enough to heal what was once broken? Hare Krishna ✨
