THESE SISTERS TELL IT LIKE IT IS

By Andrea Sachs

Dr. Stacy Ann Mitchell and Teri Mitchell, authors of Livin' Large: African American Sisters Confront Obesity (Hilton), are on a crusade to save black women from what they view as an obesity epidemic. In a lively, encouraging book, the sisters pass along good, color-blind suggestions to women wanting to walk away from a lifetime of weight-related problems. Their honesty and enthusiasm will energize many women to battle the bulge. --By Andrea Sachs
