Book Description
Tripping the Prom Queen is a groundbreaking investigation into the dark secret of female friendship: rivalry. Susan Shapiro Barash has exploded the myth that women help one another, are supportive of one another, and want each other to succeed. Based on interviews with women across a broad social spectrum, she has discovered that the competition between women is more vicious precisely because it is covert. She tells us: * Why women can't and won't admit to rivalry. * How women are trained from an early age to compete with one another. * In which areas women most heatedly compete. * How rivalry is different among women than among men. * The differences between competition, envy, and jealousy. * When competition is healthy and when it isn't. * Why women find it irresistible to "trip the prom queen." * Useful strategies to stop the competition and forge a new kind of relationship with other women. Whether you've tripped the prom queen or been tripped yourself, you will discover an engrossing exploration of this female phenomenon, as well as a beacon of hope for better, more fulfilling relationships.

Book Description
A woman can always count on are her friends—right? But what if those friendships are hurtful, harmful, even toxic? Susan Shapiro Barash explores the ten types of female friends and shows you why and how women get stuck with the worst kinds, the ways to get "unstuck, and how to recognize a true friend." For example: • The Leader of the Pack—it's all on her terms • The Doormat—and why you're the one paying the price • The Misery Lover—she wants to feel your pain. Really. • The User—and why you seldom see her coming • The Trophy Friend—and what you gain from each other Provocative and fascinating, Susan Shapiro Barash looks at the bonds (and bondage) of female friendships in a new light.

Book Description
Read the Book Know The Truth Utah's Dirty Little Secret A black man from the East comes to the Mormon Mecca of Salt Lake City and uncovers a filthy undercurrent of culturally and religiously tolerated child sexual abuse - a generational epidemic ingrained in Utah's white-male dominated Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Isn't It About Time...you stop raping and molesting your own children? World Beware! The Catholic Church is not the only worldwide church facing charges of covering up incidents of child molestation and rape perpetuated by religious leaders. The world must take a long look at Utah, the host of the 2002 Winter Olympics and the home of the Mormon church. Once a small Utah sect, Mormons now comprise a global church worth an estimated $25 billion with 11 million members worldwide, a slight majority of htem living outside the United States. In the year 2000, the Mormon Church sent out 61, 000 full-time missionaries around the world and baptized a reported 274, 000 converts. From the author: ''Being African American in a country haunted by slavery and bigotry, I grew up hearing black adn dark associated with all things negative and evil. Innocent people were blackmailed or black-balled. Or someone hid a deep, dark secret. Meanwhile, a white lie was considered small and not too damaging. ''Utah's white lies are not insignificant. These white lies feed the disease of child sexual abuse within the Mormon church that preys on innocent victims who have no voice and no power. And the Mormon church is growing worldwide.''
