Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Power of Plus will leave you feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to push for real change, as well as confident and encouraged to embrace yourself, just as you are. This is essential reading for anyone who truly cares about the future of fashion, and for anyone who believes in the power of being yourself." —Versha Sharma, editor in chief, Teen Vogue Plus-size fashion revolutionizes the way women view themselves and their bodies. Exclusivity runs within the foundation of fashion. While calls for diversity have intensified recently, long-held attitudes are only beginning to change. But through social media, plus-size people have been able to create supportive communities that show their confidence, strength, and beauty. Plus-size fashionistas have been writing their own narrative for the past three decades, creating a market all on their own that is now worth more than $21 billion. The Power of Plus features interviews with trailblazers such as Tess Holliday, Emme Aronson, Gabi Gregg, and more as it follows the evolution of plus-size fashion from its start on small blogs to its current boom, examining the way this market has changed women's relationships with their bodies and how plus-size fashion is integral to the future success of the industry. Plus-size fashion is not a PR stunt. It is a culture-changing market created by and for the people who have always deserved to feel stylish but never had the visibility to be . . . until now. By honoring our progress so far, The Power of Plus celebrates the next stage of the plus-size fashion movement.

Book excerpt: Twenty seven year old Sophie is a beautiful happy plus size girl living her dream of owning and operating a boutique in a pretty southern Virginia town. She has great clothes, great friends, is happily single and isn't interested in changing any of it for a man. Gorgeous, cynical and mega rich property tycoon Liam Moran only dates super thin society women or models and isn't impressed at all by Sophie when they first meet. He has plans to convert parts of Sophie's town into a shopping mall and is convinced he won't meet any opposition from anyone, let alone a woman. The project becomes more difficult than he ever imagined when it becomes clear he needs Sophie's land for his development. She isn't impressed by his money, his temper, or his looks and doesn't want a shopping mall in her town. Sophie promptly organizes the locals to resist Liam's plans, placing herself directly in his path. Liam finds himself increasingly attracted, against his will, to the outspoken and lovely Sophie, who challenges all his accepted notions of beauty and how women behave around rich men, and she in turn finds it more and more difficult to resist the kind but wounded heart she can see under his ruthless exterior. Liam and Sophie are on a collision course over the property development as well as their own long held prejudices. Money, ambition and rejection also create enemies, and Liam's past behavior with women comes back to create a violent and dangerous confrontation that they must deal with before they can be together.
