The authors call this book a "guide to outrageous living." I don't need a book for that but I'll bet many of you do! Don't believe me? How many of you can say I AM DIVA! and not wince or mouth the words sheepishly? If you can, you'll love this book. If you can't, you really need to read this book!
I AM DIVA is an interactive work that takes readers on a year-long journey of discovery, self-awareness and change. Of course, many of you will wince as you read of tiaras and boas, but there is a serious message to be found.
Unfortunately there are too many who live a Cinderalla-like existence. All work and no play. Forget trying on glass slippers! They need to escape their dungeon of a life more than many of us who can afford to buy this book. I think a diva-licious idea would be to share the ideas found in the pages of I AM DIVA with those who need it most. Even better, make someone else a DIVA for a day. You might even consider buying them the book, 'cause if you've had the time time to attempt all the DIVA do's and don'ts suggested, you can afford to tip your tiare elsewhere and share your keys to the kingdom.
The four Divas authors came together from different ages and stages of life. Thin and full-figured, married with children or without - they have successfully navigated the fields of fashion design, nursing, Internet consulting, business. You name it, they've done it! Now their collective vision and wisdom is being used to redefine a woman's self worth.
Some have quibled here that I AM DIVA is not a new concept. PLEAsssee! Give this diva a break! Women helping their fellow sisters in need out? More power to them!
Want four women's unique perspective on DIVAdom? Run, don't walk, and order your copy today!

This concept has been done, and been done better, by Jill Connor Browne in The Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love, God Save the Sweet Potato Queens, and The Sweet Potato Queen's Big Cookbook and Financial Planner. Everything about this book from the concept, to the writing style, to the merchandise they are hawking on the webpage is a cheap imitation of SPQ's tiara wearing, survival kit toting, originals.
