Backstory and Relation to Characters
NaTisha R. Williams was born and raised in the U.S.
Virgin Islands. She has dedicated a majority
of her adult life to finding creative ways to tell about the things that have
proven to be her biggest hurdles and triumphs.
At a young age NaTisha experienced harsh and cruel words that resulted
in her having; “no self-esteem”. At age
nineteen, she cried out to God to send relief for her emotional wounds and
began to make a shift in consciousness which has become the foundation of her
works and contributions. The book Renegotiating Kayla was a way to share
the instruction that was given to her by God after she cried out to Him. The character Kayla remains closest to the
author’s heart because her story held that “key instruction” and also spoke of
the issue of Child Sexual Abuse, which affected the lives of many of her
relatives; however, Kayla’s story is not the author’s story. In fact, none of The Ladies of Renegotiating Kayla and A Better Pair of Shoes represents a “wholistic” view of the author.
In the new book, Kayla’s story continues
to be the driving force. The author is however very happy to know that
the characters come to life and are relatable to readers. Williams, hopes not to disappoint with the new
novel.
Official Book Synopsis
A Better Pair of Shoes is a seamless and stand alone continuation of the
novel Renegotiating Kayla. The story follows the main character Kayla
Ross as she continues to create her road to wholeness. The new book picks up after Kayla has exposed
her father for sexually abusing her in her childhood, and a few months after
she has gotten married to Wood. Newly
married, yet still living under her old regime of sexually robust desires, Kayla
seeks to get help, at the request of her husband. A
Better Pair of Shoes also follows the quickly unraveling lives of the rest of
the ladies from Renegotiating Kayla;
Camie, Ketly, and Aisha.
In this
fast-moving, quick- witted, and forcefully relatable offering by the author NaTisha Renee Williams, “a pair
of shoes” is used to represent a state of consciousness. In terms of shoes, Camie is said to be “a
platform”; mounted up and deceivingly constructed, while Ketly is called “a
wedge”; comfortable and carefree. The
author refers to Aisha as “a stiletto”; narrow minded and daring, and names
Kayla “a sneaker”; grounded and designed to absorb pressure. Williams, invites readers to read along the
open-book novel, which is being released in segments every Monday and Thursday
on Blogger.com
A Better Pair of Shoes takes you on a transformational
journey with the ladies of Renegotiating Kayla. Read along as the women let go of their public faces, and begin to reveal fears and truths. You will witness an unarmoring of each character's confidence, as they heed the warning to get real, and in particular, real honest. By the
end, they would have leaped, fallen, and mostly recovered; leaving them each standing
in a better pair of shoes. The
book can be read at:
