Trouble & Triumph: A Novel of Power & Beauty by Tip “T.I.” Harris with David Ritz
Trouble & Triumph by Tip “T.I.” Harris with David Ritz is the second entry in a trilogy covering the story of Power and Beauty.
In the last book, Power was whisked away by some goons that was sure to lead to a quick and messy death. Instead, Power is transported back into the world he has left, the turbulent world of Cascade Heights, a suburb of Atlanta.
Unlike the first in the series, Power & Beauty, the second book has a better plot and mix of action. Within the first few pages of the previous book, everything and anything happens to the Power and Beauty. This creates for a tamed rest of the book.
In this second book, Power and Beauty cross paths, but Beauty is determined to remain independent and sets her own course. This pseudo-sibling relationship crosses into the taboo territory of love and lust, but there is no doubt that the bonds of family are stronger than their will to be free of each other.
This book takes you on a journey from the Far East to the big cities across the United States. From Atlanta, a few familiar faces pass through such as Ted Turner and local hot spots like Bones make an appearance as settings.
The book really is a rocking roller coaster that grabs you from the start and does not let go until the final chapter. The story showcases another venue for T.I.’s creative energies to flourish.
If you’re new to the series with this entry, do note that the first few chapters of the first book are in the appendix addition and will quickly bring you up to date.

ATLANTA, GA (Feb. 24, 2015) – The Fox Theatre is pleased to present An Evening with David Sedaris, author of the previous bestsellers Naked, Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, and regular National Public Radio contributor who will be appearing for one night only at the Fox Theatre on Thursday, April 16, 2015 at 7:30pm.
Celebrating the June 3, 2014 paperback release of his latest title, #1 New York Times Bestseller, Letâs Explore Diabetes with Owls, author David Sedaris comes to Atlanta for an evening of engaging recollections and featuring all-new readings.
Dr. Mike (Michael S. Fenster, MD) has a sense of humor in dispersing his dietary and nutritional advice in The Fallacy of the Calorie, but whatâs also funny is the fact that this cardiologist is dishing out all this information while criticizing supposed self-proclaimed food experts.
Take this passage, for example: âThese days it seems as if everybody has an opinion about food and health. People watch Dr. Oz, tune in to the Food Network, or read some anecdotal diatribe on the Internet and all of a sudden theyâre full of expert opinions and analysis.â
Dr. Mike mentions only Dr. Oz by name. He then goes on to allude to a bunch of straw men who give consumers lots of conflicting food guidance before launching into his own enterprising book of culinary realness. Dr. Mike is in your face and sounds like a go-getter, I guess. He says if Iâm happy with the food I eat and my state of wellness, health, verdure, heartiness is a-okay, then this is not the book for me. PUT THIS BOOK DOWN. If only!
