Repurposed

By LoRee Peery

Description:

Talia Ashby is a perfectionistic data analyst who, on occasion, sees her “fat” self when she looks in the mirror. As a svelte former obese girl, she reunites with her secret teen crush, now a pastor in the church she attends.
Cooper Valiant is dazzled upon meeting a high school friend he doesn’t immediately recognize due to her drastic weight loss. Since his sister had an eating disorder, he’d often felt empathy toward Talia as classmates teased and bullied her. In his pastorate position, he asks her to help girls in the youth group come to grips with body-image.
While working with the girls, Talia's recollections of youthful hurts stir up past insecurities. She must reassess her spiritual journey, and what bothers her in the present.
Added to the mix are her reawakened emotions toward the man who once came to her rescue. Will their joint journey include a personal relationship?

Book Takeaway:

No matter how we see ourselves in the mirror, or the pressure of society, peers, and social media, God made us. And God don't make no junk.

Why the author wrote this book:

Body image is a huge issue with most women. Coming to terms with the way God made us, uniquely in His issue can be hard, no matter how mature other aspects of life are. This is a story that spans generations of women, or men.
