Making Light of Being Heavy by Kandy Siahaya
About the Book:
These days everyone has a society-driven mindset and totally forget to laugh, especially at themselves. This may be cliche but the author truly believes that laughter is the best medicine and thinks everybody should laugh every day. Period. Over the years as a person blessed with the fat gene, Kandy has been in many situations where if she could not find humor she probably would end up on the couch in the psychiatrist s office. This book is about as politically incorrect as it gets for such a subject but it is also based on reality. This is a reality that many women have just like Kandy but do not think they can (or should) at times just laugh about it. Her intention when she started writing this book was to hopefully give insight to many who could never relate but at the same time perhaps provide a different perspective to women just like her. It is a point of view that has given her the strength to live her life happily and project these feelings onto everyone she comes in contact with. She has a great sense of humor and a quick wit and guarantees you will be laughing (and thinking) with each chapter of Making Light of Being Heavy.

Journey of Dreams by Marge Pellegrino
Journey of Dreams by Marge Pellegino
About the Book:
I hear footsteps on the path and see light approaching. I slip behind the ni'tzja, out of view of the soldier coming with a torch. When I hear him call out, I want to scream, You are too late. This family has escaped you! This is Tomasa's story of how her family survives the Guatemalan army's "scorched earth" campaign, and how their love, loyalty to each other and Papa's storytelling keep them going on their harrowing search for refuge in the United States.
