This book is for everyone!
6 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
I am a thin man, not a bountiful woman. Not only did I think this was an excellent read, it has changed the way I think about bountiful people. I admit, I have been susceptible to prejudice in this arena. No longer. Dr. Bernell has written a book that speaks so clearly, so eloquently, that I am now unable NOT to smile when around bountiful people. It's as if I'm now part of the inner sanctum of understanding.
If enough people read this book, life will be a bit easier on everybody. We'll be able to focus on the things that truly matter and go about our lives living to the fullest. Well done.

Nourishment for the Heart
6 Oct 2000
Format:Paperback
Bonnie Bernell's Bountiful Women is a delicious and nourishing volume. Organized into bite-sized chapters, the book presents stories and illustrations on a myriad of topics - from core issues, such as health care and personal relationships, to life enhancement arenas, such as travel and personal pampering. As the bountiful women tell their stories, they reveal their wisdom, courage, humor, compassion, and tenacity. Celebrating each women's individuality, Bernell does not advocate "one size fits all" in her commentary and advice. Rather she writes about choices, the choices that should be available to all women, as she advocates against self-imposed limitations that narrow our lives, demean us, or wither our spirits. Fundamentally this book is about the quality of our lives, about "deservingness." While the focus is on bountiful women, Bountiful Women speaks to all women. It provides food for thought; more importantly, it offers a deep well of sustenance for the heart.

Has Important Info for all of us, Bountiful or Petite!
2 Dec 2000
Format:Paperback
I couldn't put this book down! Many of us have felt "outside" of popular culture for one reason or another. Bountiful people encounter hurdles we don't even imagine. Bonnie describes story after story of heroic women who confront the challenges head on, find love, exciting lives, and success despite society's negative image. While describing inspiring events, Bonnie manages to weave in heartbreaking examples of the discrimination and cruelty faced by bountiful people on a daily basis. It is an eye opener, and her messages about dating apply to EVERYONE.
