Read the blurb of Uniquely Lashay's book, Beautiful Curves with Deadly Secrets below:
The Church is usually a sacred place that you go to get on the right path in life. However, for Kristy Hart, the church took everything from her including her childhood. Being thick and curvy most women think of that as a blessing but not for Kristy. Dealing with a past that haunts her she learns to keep pushing forward no matter the circumstance.
Myles Miller, also known on the streets as Lucky, is focused on getting his stacks up. That is until he runs across the baddest BBW in Atlanta, Kristy. Her aura gains his full attention, she not only is beautiful, but her personality is like no other.
After
dealing with so much Kristy is cautious of Lucky, however, she learns quickly
that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. With curves that can make a grown
man cry and looks that not even a straight woman can resist, this beauty still
goes through life like everyone else. Juggling being a single mother,
depression, financial issues, and reconnecting with her family. Stay tuned this
is one story you do not want to miss!
