Just keep it positive!!!

Book Description
Bulletproof Soul pays respect to the resiliency of women from the ghettos to the burbs. It's a fast-paced and poignant debut novel that skillfully interweaves themes of love, betrayal, loss, hope and forgiveness. It's the story of Lacy Foxx, for whom the humor and horror of being black, female, single and searching (but in denial about it) is all too real. Unfortunately, her love life isn't her only problem. She's also struggling with the death of close family members, best friend woes, baby's momma drama and major job trauma. Will she learn to embrace her indestructible spirit . . . her bulletproof soul . . . in time before everything comes crashing down around her?

About the Author
Bulletproof Soul is my first novel. As a result of the book, Black Issues Book Review Magazine included me in their July/August 2005 issue as a writer to watch -- a "fresh breeze." I've worked as a reporter, a publicist for Hallmark Cards and a freelance writer for publications like Black Enterprise Magazine. My writing is also included in the #1 Essence bestseller, Souls of My Sisters (Dafina, 2000).

I saw the following post recently on beautifulzaria.blogspot.com about my book and I was struck by just how much the reader got what I was trying to say:
*************************
"I read Bulletproof Soul by Michelle Buckley this year and came to a revelation. We're all damaged in some way, covering up for a scar in our lives. Sometimes we hide that scar unaware that we can heal if we just remove the Band-Aid."
**************************
Thought for the day: What are you doing to cover up and hide your soul's wounds? It's time to remove those Band-Aids ya'll and heal!
