Amazon Women of the World: Unite! Novel Highlights Women's Strengths Instead of Focusing on Their Weaknesses

    VANCOUVER, BC, November 20, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In an age where so many self-help books are focused on pointing out women's flaws, one author is using her writing to highlight their many strengths. Lindy Hughes' It Never Stays in Vegas offers a fresh take on the mid-life experiences of women that sits in stark contrast to many of the texts lining the self-help sections of bookstores today.

In her debut novel, Hughes' focuses on providing a realistic portrayal of one woman's middle years' experience that will resonate with many readers. Her characters show the real-life resilience and strength of women, while staying away from giving pat, pithy, and unrealistic resolutions to the issues women encounter throughout their lives. It Never Stays in Vegas offers an antidote the Oprah-tization of women's mid-life experiences. She disputes the notion that there is a 'right' or 'wrong' way to for women to approach life's challenges.

"I've never been one to fall into that self-help trap," says Hughes. "Sometimes women need to be reminded of just how strong they can be, instead of constantly being told they need to 'fix' themselves. My characters have problems just like anyone else. They make wrong choices. But that's what makes them interesting. Who hasn't made mistakes? Acknowledging our flaws is liberating, but it still doesn't mean we need to be fixed."

It Never Stays in Vegas is available at Amazon.com and on her website at www.lindyhughes.com.
