First thing is to find a bow that fits you, your local pro shop will be able to help you with this. The one thing to remember when going to the pro shop is that the more expensive the bow doesn't mean its the best bow for you. There are alot of bows out there for the begining archer.
Make sure the bow has a brace height of 7" or more. This will make the bow more forgiving (this is the distance from the string to the riser or handle).
The new short bows are nice but the shorter the bow the greater the chance for torque. For the beginging archer I would recommend something along the lines of 35-38" (axle to axle).
Lastly, I would recommend a bow that had a soft cam design, this is also more forgiving.
Hope this helps!
