Product Description
I realized that no matter how much I wanted the past to remain intact,
what was would never be again. We all got older. We all moved on.
And maybe things were supposed to change...
Funny, intelligent, and, above all, relevant, Free Style is an inspiring novel about two thirtysomething married moms -- one who is separated and the other whose marriage is hanging on by a thread. They decide to escape their to-do lists to revisit their past at Club 90, a nightclub they frequented in the early nineties. There they meet up with old friends and lost loves and dance their troubles away to Lisa Lisa and C&C Music Factory. But when they're hit with a shocking dose of reality, they must decide whether to stay in the past or move on. More than just a fun read, Free Style explores serious issues that women grapple with all the time -- keeping romantic relationships alive, dealing with unexpected illness, single motherhood, and the need to come to terms with the past.

 Just Plain AWESOME! July 21, 2008
This is the first book I've read from cover to cover since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Before Free Style I only read cancer books. This book is touching, funny and such a fun easy read that I had no choice but to breeze through it in a few days. (quite a feat for someone who still has chemobrain and a short attention span!)
You know you're reading a good, no not good, GREAT book when you can identify with married mothers even when you're not one your self!
I am officially a fan of Linda, and cannot wait until she writes her next great novel!
It's about time! May 2, 2008
It's about time for a book about intelligent, real Latina women living their everyday lives. This book is so funny and nostalgic it will make you say, "Remember that?!" It's also honest and raw in the issues it raises, so you really connect with the characters, especially the main character, Idalis, because of this fresh honesty; you really feel like you've known her forever. As an avid reader I need to read different kinds of books in order to fill my creative and emotional well. Finally, Linda Nieves-Powell delivers something that's been missing in books: a fun, sassy, serious, and strong nostalgic story that satisfies my Latina soul.
Keep it up. You've got a big fan here!
 Unleash Your Unrelenting Desire to - Kick Back! April 29, 2008
Playwright now-turned author Linda Nieves-Powell, from Latino Flavored productions has a new, fun and fast-paced book about the not-so-fast paced lives of two 30-something year old moms.
Two best friends are worn-out, maybe a little fed up with the stress of their busy lives, juggling seemingly uncaring husbands, time-consuming children and their unrelenting desire to simply - kick back! They remember their 'freestyle' lives when they were free-style dancing at the clubs in the mid 90's.
A fun, easy-going, nostalgic read! A great book to kick-back and forget your own hurried lifestyle!
