Watch Out For The Big Girls

In Las Vegas, Nevada, also known as Sin City, anything goes. This is why the Double G's have chosen to set up shop here. Starrshima Fields, aka Starr, is a young, bodacious, and bold beauty. She is also the leader of the Double G's, a powerful and ruthless social club of plus-sized women. Starr is guided by Queen Fem, the founder of the Double G's. Queen Fem set up the group of professionals-by-day, gangster-biker-chicks-by-night to prove that this isn't just a man's world. The Double G's put the squeeze on their primary targets: men of power and privilege. Blackmail and manipulation are their choice of weapons, and they are skillful in both. Agent McCarthy has been tracking the Double G's since the founder was at the helm of the organization. For years, he could not infiltrate the group of female radicals, but he has finally managed to plant a seed that could possibly lead to the destruction of the Double G's when the young Starrshima Fields becomes the new face of the group. As the temperature increases in Las Vegas, so does the pressure the Double G's apply. No man is safe from the Double G's and their manipulative tactics, and anyone who tries to stop them is putting his life in danger. These women are on a mission, and they believe the only way they can accomplish it is by keeping the game and the players in a chokehold!

Starr Fields sits in the Clark County jail after being released then re-arrested and held without bail. She uses her time wisely during her incarceration. After making examples out of a few of the other inmates and putting the squeeze on her unit Double Gs style, Starr recruits some new talent for a plan she intends to execute when she gets out. Queen Fem isn’t happy about all of the sudden attention on the Double Gs organization. While her counterpart is being held in federal custody, Diamond Morgan steps up to the plate and holds the Double Gs down in her absence. She focuses on keeping the organization strong while strategically trying to weed out the weak link. She has been holding on to some valuable information ever since Starr was arrested, waiting for the right time to reveal it. It’s hard for Agent McCarthy to stay focused. The untimely and unfortunate tragedy with his daughter’s illness prevents him from pursuing the Double Gs with his colleagues the way he knows he needs to. His slack is soon picked up by his fellow agent, Reddick. After showing just how long their arms can reach, it seems the two agents and the rest of the bureau combined may not be enough to take down the double Gs. The temperature continues to rise in Las Vegas, Nevada, as the Double Gs turn up the heat the best way they know how: By putting the squeeze on the game and the players in it.

Starrshma Fields is officially back on the scene, with the intent of returning to the head of the Double Gs organization with a new game plan. After a close call, she is all too eager to put into motion the plan she conjured up while in custody at the Clark County Jail. However, she is clueless as to all that has been going on while she’s been out of the loop. Although she is still somewhat salty with her lover and leader, Diamond Morgan has been handling business, running the Double Gs in Starr’s absence. She has managed to repair the damage caused by some of Starr’s recent decisions by making some better and stronger ones of her own, but she is not sure if some things are beyond repair. Queen Fem is uneasy behind the mess that her protege has brought to the doorstep of the organization that she founded. It has been a long time since she has had to make a tough decision, but she feels her hand is being forced. She is unsure whether the Double Gs need to be under new leadership, and whether Starr should step down. Dealing with the illness of his only child and the strain it put on his marriage, Agent McCarthy is back with a vengeance. He throws himself into his work, the only thing he loves as much as his family. His only focus is to take down the Double Gs. But with one of his plants now deceased and the other off the grid, he is forced to roll up his sleeves to figure out how to dismember the Double Gs on his own. Monica is caught between a rock and a hard place. She is torn between the feelings she has built for Starrshma Fields, her new love interest, and her commitment to uphold the law. With that and then some going on, the Double Gs still operate on the highest level, executing their missions to ensure that their grip on the corporate, political, and underworld remain firm. New alliances are made and new orders are rendered. If you’re a major player in the Las Vegas area, you still need to watch out for the big girls better known as the Double Gs!

Four girls living in four completely different worlds. The stench from one girls trailer park clung to her as awkwardly as her clothing. She may have been nearly three hundred pounds and standing nearly six feet tall, but her mind was beautiful and her heart was pure. The second girl appeared to be the perfect girl next door, an iconic beauty. But the ugly pain that lurked just beneath her skin painted a very different picture of her reflection. The third girl lives in a house built of secrets, while bearing the fruit of a broken promise. The fourth girl, weaned on abandonment and loss, runs away until she learns that she cannot leave herself behind. All four of them are searching for piece of peace hidden deep within them. Their pathways have one common and covert element. These journeys carry them to places unimagined, as a source of love and happiness guides them into their futures, and teaches them to find a little bit of peace wherever they are.

*A Goodreads Choice Awards Finalist *Named Best Comedy Book by the African American Literary Awards Show Fans of Issa Rae and Phoebe Robinson will love this collection of laugh-out-loud funny and insightful essays that explore race, feminism, pop culture, and how society reinforces the message that we are nothing without the perfect body. By the time Chloé Hilliard was 12, she wore a size 12—both shoe and dress—and stood over six feet tall. Fitting in was never an option. That didn’t stop her from trying. Cursed with a “slow metabolism,” “baby weight,” and “big bones,”—the fat trilogy—Chloe turned to fad diets, starvation, pills, and workouts, all of which failed. Realizing that everything—from government policies to corporate capitalism—directly impacts our relationship with food and our waistlines, Chloé changed her outlook on herself and hopes others will do the same for themselves. The perfect mix of cultural commentary, conspiracies, and confessions, F*ck Your Diet pokes fun at the all too familiar, misguided quest for better health, permanent weight loss, and a sense of self-worth.
