Star
Jones Reynolds had done it all. College on scholarship, law school on
loans, and life by faith. She had achieved a prestigious career as a
lawyer and prosecutor, provided much-needed calm and insight while
reporting the Rodney King and O. J. Simpson trials on television, and
landed a spot cohosting one of America's most popular daytime television
shows, The View. Then why was she feeling so down?
It
all began when Star took a close look at herself and her life and
realized she wasn't happy with what she saw: obesity precluded her from
crossing her legs, she needed an asthma inhaler, she couldn't fasten her
own necklace, and, worst of all, she got too tired to shop -- a
disaster because Star Jones Reynolds is a seriously committed shopper.
Then
she realized something else: with all her extraordinary
accomplishments, none of it mattered without true love. Thinking long
and hard, she finally understood that she hadn't yet met the man of her
dreams because she wasn't ready for him.
Star
decided to make it happen. She began a personal journey to reconstitute
her physical look, emotional state, and already strong spirituality.
Even if she didn't find love, it would be a win-win situation because
she'd emerge from the experience a healthier, happier woman -- one who
could truly shine. Unless you live on another planet, you know Star
succeeded in her quest and did find true love -- and it wasn't that hard
at all. In Shine, she shares it all in her wise, revealing, irreverent, laugh-out-loud style.
Shine
is divided into three main sections, each exploring core issues of
interest to women. Part One guides women toward being their most
attractive physical selves using Star's personal secrets on losing
weight and finding hair, fashion, and makeup chic (inexpensively). Part
Two asks tough questions about emotional preparedness for a relationship
and shows you how to think like lawyers, and how to get your financial
and emotional houses in order. Part Three delves into a woman's
spiritual life -- discover how to talk to God no matter what your
religion. Spiking the book are Star's "absolutes" -- truisms that have
always worked for her and continue to give her guidance -- quizzes and
self-assessment exercises that will help you focus on your particular
strengths and weaknesses.
Everyone knows Star Jones
Reynolds is a success story, a happy,
rough-edges-to-emotional-and-financial-riches tale. Until you read this
book, you won't know how she got there -- and how you can echo her
triumphs and shine.
