New Novel by Sean Coons – “BODY, or How Hope Confronts Her Shadow and Calls the Flutter Girl to Flight”
Dear Friends,
I am pleased to announce that my novel, BODY: or, How Hope Confronts Her Shadow and Calls the Flutter Girl to Flight, will be published by Black Rose Writing on November 21, 2019.
Pre-Order Today!
From Heather Creekmore, author of Compared to Who?: A Proven Path to Improve Your Body Image . . .
“Body crafts thought-provoking insights into a relatable, satisfying, and enjoyable story. Sean Coons captures the reality of a woman’s struggle with body image issues in such a genuine way—it’s as if he’s read my thoughts and transcribed them on the page! This book offers truths and inspiration for any woman who’s ever wondered if her body is good enough.”
SYNOPSIS
Hope hates her body. She always has. The fact that she’s a graphic artist who manipulates images of women’s bodies for a living only makes matters worse.
Hope’s teenage niece, Lana, has a physique Photoshop can’t touch. But in her dance world, finesse in motion requires mastery of body, which, for Lana, spirals into obsession.
Looking into the mirror, Hope and Lana have in mind a continually altering ideal of beauty defined always as thinner than they are in the moment.
Hope turns to her preternaturally trim friend, Lilith, for help. Comedy ensues as Hope mimics Lilith’s alpha female style, storming through life solving her problems and losing weight—that is until her new inauthentic persona leads to catastrophe. At her lowest, Hope meets Joy, a quirky mentor offering ancient truths of physical health and spiritual peace that will change Hope’s and Lana’s lives forever.
