Blessed Health offers African-American women the medical information and inspirational motivation they need to achieve total health -- a healthy mind, body, and spirit.

Many black women will go to church all day every Sunday but won't take one day out of the year to get a Pap test and mammogram done. Yet that yearly doctor's visit could help save lives. Often the first people to pray when a serious illness strikes, black women may be the last to seek timely medical care. As a result, they are suffering with, and dying from, manageable illnesses such as heart disease, obesity, cancer, and diabetes more than any other group in the United States.
It doesn't have to be that way. Don't wait until a health emergency happens before turning to your faith and your physician. You can achieve optimal health by arming yourself with medical knowledge and a strong spiritual base. Research has proven that a well-nurtured spiritual self can help to replenish, rejuvenate, and safeguard your physical self.
Written by a prominent African-American OB/GYN and a highly respected journalist, Blessed Health is a personal health and spirituality guide for every stage of a black woman's life. Included here is important information on:
  • How your body works, and what can be done to prevent or help solve common health problems, including pelvic infections and fibroid tumors
  • How to find a doctor that ministers to your physical and emotional needs
  • How to successfully cope with illness, from a faith perspective
  • How spiritual wisdom and prayer can decrease the harmful effects of stress
  • How best to take care of your breasts and reproductive organs, and decrease your risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and cancer

and much, much more, including the latest on managing menopause.

Excellent intro to a complicated subject. Much superior to other more well-known -- and wordier -- attempts at explaining modernism.

Romantic Suspense-Incredible
Format: Kindle
This book was incredible from beginning to end. The author did a great job balancing the romance, mystery/suspense and emotional moments that made it hard to put this book down. The chemistry and banter between the two main characters was great. Their interactions had me smiling throughout the story. The kidnapper completely surprised me. I wasn’t even close in figuring out who it was either. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a story filled with heart, suspense, and unexpected twists.

4⭐️ Romantic Suspense
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I loved this book! Good plot, good story, & it kept my interest from beginning to end. 🌶️ - A little bit of spice sprinkled in. Dark Romance is usually my genre of choice. However, Romantic Thrillers are quickly becoming one of my favorite genres that I wasn’t even quite sure existed. All of the Missing Pieces fits that genre perfectly. I really enjoyed Ridley’s character! For all the loss & trauma she has gone through, she is still so willing to help others. I loved her spitfire personality. This story had me feeling all kinds of emotions while making me giggle at times. I thought I had the unsub figured out about halfway through, but I was so very wrong! What a twist. Carter & Ridley’s relationship evolved perfectly. Ridley got the closure that she needed with her HEA. ‼️Possible spoiler ahead! ‼️I did find it hard to believe that Emerson was able to solve the case within a few minutes but wasn’t able to remember those same exact details over the course of 10 years? It felt a little too fast to me. Almost as if the author was trying to wrap up the story a little too quickly. On a side note, I wish there was a spin-off about Trey & Emerson!

The perfect romantic mystery
Format: Kindle
Honestly, this book’s hold over me was a little worrying. The story opens with a tragic event, introducing Ridley Sawyer, who immediately captured my heart. She’s tenacious, motivated, witty, and complicated. I connected with her character so quickly that she felt like a friend by the second chapter—something that doesn’t happen often. I also fell in love with her cat, Princess Tater, who had me giggling and kicking my feet. This little feline terror was so well-written that I was emotionally invested in her welfare. I would have rioted if anything happened to her or that adorable van she and Ridley lived in, which doubled as a mobile podcast station. The story beautifully portrays the other fur babies as both sources of emotional comfort and brave protectors. I looked forward to each scene that included them. Catherine painted a detailed picture of the small town and everyone living there. It perfectly sets the scene without upstaging the characters or the book’s mystery. Colt was also a fantastic character. His grumpiness blended well with Ridley’s sunny personality, but they both had a darkness that few could see. Their tragic pasts brought them together and made them grow in ways I didn’t anticipate as the story unfolded. I loved how the slow burn and spice were incredibly hot but subtle enough to enhance the story without overpowering it. I couldn’t figure out who did it, so the reveal was a complete shock. I had doubts, but the author kept me guessing until the end. My hats off to her for sending me in every direction trying to solve this mystery without successfully figuring out who it was. I yelled, and my husband came running when it was revealed. 😂 I don’t give spoilers, but if you love small-town romances, captivating characters, and true crime mysteries, you’ll be hooked on this book. It had the perfect ending, resolving all my questions and giving me more than I expected. This is my first Catherine Cowles book, but definitely not my last. Her writing style is engaging and punctuated with gorgeous sentences I eagerly highlighted on my Kindle to share with others. I highly recommend curling up in your favorite chair, grabbing a snack, and getting lost in this incredible story. You won’t regret it.
