Inspirational Tale of Renovating the Family Cottage, Sold As Is, Published by Outskirts Press
Livonia, NY, February 04, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Outskirts Press, Inc. has published Sold As Is by Ellen M. True. The author's most recent book to date is a 5.5 x 8.5 paperback in the self-help, motivational and inspirational category and is available worldwide on book retailer websites such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The webpage at www.outskirtspress.com/soldasis was launched simultaneously with the book's publication.
When Ellen True bought her parents’ rustic lakeside cottage in the spring of 2008, she also purchased a treasure trove of family memories and lake lore. In this extraordinary, heartfelt narrative, Ellen launches readers on a journey through mesmerizing lake stories as the backdrop to her main adventure of renovating the 85-year-old cottage.
There was one thing she didn’t count on: a major home-improvement project. Along the way, True encounters riveting and humorous mini-disasters -- from offensive contractors and shattered showers to building-code violations and plumbing headaches. Amid it all, Ellen takes encouragement from memories of the cottage’s many gifts during her youth: sun-drenched summer flashbacks of swimming across the lake and snipe hunts, water skiing and scuba diving, all surrounded by a loving cast of family and friends.
Sold As Is shows that the human spirit is stronger than insurmountable challenges -- in this case, insufficient finances and knowledge. In her honest look at fear and failures, Ellen is ultimately transformed. What she discovers will provide inspiration for those yearning to follow their passions, when only uncertainty is holding them back.
206 pages in length, Sold As Is is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the self-help, motivational and inspirational category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Sold As Is meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $14.95.
Additionally, Sold As Is can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press Direct bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore.
