Aspiring journalist Claire thinks she’s finally found her big break. A national magazine has asked her to cover a strange story: a South Carolina woman refused to sign her divorce papers when she showed up in court, only to discover that her obese slob of a husband had somehow morphed into Prince Charming and James Bond combined barely a year after she had kicked him out. Has Billy Switch simply gone on a diet and training regimen, or is he hiding a lottery windfall from his soon-to-be ex-wife?
The transformation of Billy Switch is relevant to anyone entering a middle-aged crisis. If it worked for someone as fat, as sick, as down on his luck, as Billy Switch, then it will work for anyone. However, if Billy cashed a whopping $877,784,124, that’s an entirely different story.
The book originated from the realisation that a physical transformation requires three “switches”, one mental and two physical ones and that understanding what to do, though necessary, is not sufficient. Instead, a strong, overwhelming desire was the key to successfully embarking on what is, after all, life’s journey. And though many people postpone attempting to transform themselves until they have more time or more money, the truth is that making the change saves a lot of both.
This book was written to entertain and inspire readers to start their own transformations so that they can enjoy life as their new selves without delay.
