Big Girls Do Cry <br>Tarot: Two of Swords

Candace’s marriage is over, and she relies on the one thing she has found to ease the pain: food. Candace has always found comfort in her food. From growing up with an abusive step-father, to mothering her mother, she always uses food to deal with problems. Now Candace’s best friend, Laverne has seen something in the tarot cards that says Candace’s life is going to change. Laverne talks Candace into a night on the town where she meets Troy. Can Troy make Candace believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder?

In Big Girls Do Cry - Tarot: Two of Swords, Hollie Davidson has written a wonderfully touching and poignant book. Candace’s hopes and dreams, thoughts and feelings, are all so realistic and thought provoking. The language is superbly down-to-earth, the interactions between the characters are extremely well written. I love how Hollie Davidson had Candace handle her reasons for the changes she creates. This really is a touching love story wrapped into a short twenty-seven pages. This book is a keeper for me; I plan on rereading this often, for hope and inspiration when my own struggle with my weight and food gets me down.
