Pretty Takes Practice: A Southern Woman's Search for the Real Meaning of Beauty

Description: Pretty Takes Practice by Charla Muller Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Charla Mullers first book, 365 Nights, was called "entertaining" (Albuquerque Journal), "surprising [and] remarkable" (The Independent [London]). It also launched her into the public eye—and brought her to a moment of painful realization . . . For an average working mom like Charla, going on a book tour was both intimidating and exciting. It also turned out to be horrifying: When she saw herself on a screen in glorious, unforgiving HD, it magnified all her flaws, prompted comments from unadoring fans, and forced her to reevluate her (lack of) exercise regimen. But Charla was jolted into action and used that cringe-inducing close-up as a wakeup call. After shedding a few tears over how shed let herself go (and over the five-year-old discount sweater she wore on Oprah), she set out on a strange, hilarious, and poignant journey that tapped into and tested her values, her beliefs about beauty, her self-image, and, of course, her relationship with her mother. In this lively, funny, moving account, a Southern woman shares stories she swore shed never tell—and ultimately offers some unexpected and universal insight about how pretty takes practice. Author Biography Charla Muller worked in marketing and public relations in New York City before moving to her home state of North Carolina, where she works for a nonprofit. She lives in Charlotte with her husband, Brad, and their two children. She is also the author, with Betsy Thorpe, of 365 Nights: A Memoir of Intimacy.
