Book Description:
"At five-foot-eleven and 190 pounds, supermodel Emme is immediately recognizable. Her image has appeared on billboards and in newspapers and magazines, including print ads for Bloomingdale's, Macy's, and Liz Claiborne. She has been featured in the New York Times and she was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World." Many women feel that if they aren't a perfect size 6, they can't be beautiful. In True Beauty, Emme shares her story of triumph over negative body image and offers tips on developing a positive self-image and overcoming stereotypes through dressing, shopping, dating, relationships, job interviews, travel, and exercise. Emme's story will comfort and inspire any woman who has battled with issues of self-esteem and body image.

I love how Emme focuses on taking care of yourself, being as healthy as you can be and making the most of yourself. This book is NOT about being a large women, it is about being a confident woman who values herself. If Emme focuses on her size, it is only to help those of us who are still hung up on not being a size 2 get over it and get a real life! (Or, embrace the life we have with joy). She IS a beautiful person. I read this once a few years back from the library, and again after requesting it from PBS. It's a little difficult relinquish this book, but if someone else can be enriched by it, it is only right that I should pass it on. I'm richer for having read it.
