| ALL
EYES ON HER |
(March
2008, Red Dress Ink, 304 pages) |
|
As
a junior associate at the most sought-after marital-mediation
and divorce-law firm in Beverly Hills, Monica
is part mediator, part lawyer, part marriage
therapist
and all celebrity babysitter. She is doing her
best handling the firm’s superstar clients
Cameron and Lydia Johnson – Hollywood It
couple “Camydia” – but things
might be easier if her jealous coworker stopped
giving her the evil eye. Or if her previously
devoted fiancee started returning her calls.
Or if she
could deny the sneaking suspicion that her drama
queen mother was planning an unwelcome move back
to California. |
Amidst
the paparazzi frenzy surrounding Camydia’s
roller-coaster relationship, an unfortunate
episode at the SkyBar which
Monica would most certainly deny under oath,
and a reality-tv debacle that drops a surprisingly
handsome
new twist
into her lap, Monica has got to don her Prada
cape
and matching bag and learn to think fast.
|
Is
honesty really the best policy? Is true love ever
really over? Is it better to meet the evil eye
head-on, or to run just as fast and as far as your
best gold heels will take you?
|
Everyone’s
watching to see what Monica will do. And she just might
surprise them all – including herself!

| GIRL
MOST LIKELY TO |
(March
2007, Red Dress Ink, 320 pages) |
|
Meet
New York City investment banker Vina Chopra. She's
got predatory wit (categorizing most men as either
cowboys or firemen, because even if they're not,
they should be...), a healthy Yiddish accent (because
she did grow up in Great Neck, Long Island, after
all...), and a very deliberate conviction that
'acting as if you planned to weigh exactly as much
as you
do' wins out over "sunken cheekbones' every
time! |
With
exactly thirty months left until she turns thirty,
Vina has decided that it's time to get serious
about finding her mate. So what if most of the
'suitable
matches' her parents suggest turn out to be about
as exciting as her humidifier? So what if her long
term relationship was with the ulcer she decided
to name Fred? So what if the ex-boyfriend who she's
still in love with won't stop calling? |
| Vina
isn't about excuses; she's about results. And what
Vina wants, Vina normally gets. |
...But
Vina is also about to find out that real life rarely
follows the script. It turns out that her friends
know her a little too well, her parents' good intentions
are complicated by the fact that they are completely
out of touch with her life, and her neighbor's presumptuous
cat has recently made a habit of sneaking into her
closet and trying on all of her favorite shoes.
|
Amid
a parental setup with a lawyer who turns out to be
anything but 'suitable,' a blackout in the middle
of a hot afternoon in New York City, and an office
scandal that could permanently end her career, Vina
begins to question everything that she's worked so
hard for. Who has she been trying to please all of
these years? Is the life she was most likely to lead
the one that she actually wanted? Can she put aside
everyone else's expectations for long enough to become
the girl most likely to find happiness all her own?

Countless
people awaken each day wondering not only "What
should I do with my life?" but also "What
will make me happy?" In the search for a purpose-driven
life, the general public is looking for inspiration.

Chasing
Success is the result of a two-year investigation into
the lives of thirteen well-known (but seldom profiled)
Harvard alumni who have lived extraordinary and entrepreneurial
lives--who have engineered their own success. With
their own words, and through the insights of their
spouses, partners, parents, colleagues,
investors, siblings, mentors
and friends, Sharma has chronicled
their lives. Narratives interspersed
with direct quotes from her
extensive personal interviews
reveal The Five Habits of Highly
Successful Entrepreneurs, and
lead towards the concept of
the Productive Versus Destructive
Psychological Safety net. |
