Dear Beautiful, What's your issue? What's your "if.s"? Love, trust, worry, divorce, abuse, single parenting, anger, forgiveness; your "if.s" may be few or they may be infinite, but you do have them and they have been EXPOSED! So, which characters are you hiding behind: Loveless Lacy, 10-Round Rhonda, Hard-Headed Helen, could it be Dozen Diet Dee Dee? Are you willing to explore them? Willing to accept the challenge to evaluate "self"? Go ahead my Beautiful I dare you...emerge! "Beautifulif." - the book with the DISCLAIMER After years of processing through her own "if.s," Crystal C. Chapman emerges to write this clear-cut, non-sugar coated, well overdue view of a woman's evaluation of self. Weighing the life cycle of the delicate butterfly against a woman's ability to transform and emerge, "Beautifulif." touches on the personal struggles between the everyday, often complex, issues women face and the characters they choose to hide behind. Chapman dissects; personal and interpersonal relationships, life's promised test and age-old truths, re-exposing them to today's woman - just in case she forgot. Chapman mentally forces you to open not only your eyes but ears, heart and soul. Reminding all women of the simple fact, "You have been and will be perplexed by the "if.s" of life but transformation is inevitable - patient beauty prevails." On a mission for change, from start to finish, Chapman throws metaphors, rhetorical questions, spiritual curves, and presses tears. Returning to the original intent of the concept divulged - every woman has "if.ssues!" Overall, the concept of "Beautifulif..." is carried out in the transformation of becoming "Beautiful Again," but in order to be "Beautiful in All Ways," to fully emerge as the butterfly that God initially created - you must work within your own chrysalis, you must work on YOU!
