Indianapolis, IN is the perfect city for Victoria
Jackson. The city where they drive fast, live fast and excel even
faster. Victoria loves the pace of the city and even more so loves
the pace of her explosive career. The thirty five year old Senior
Executive is married to William, a successful partner in a reputable
law firm. The happy couple seems to have a perfect life: a strong
marriage, two promising careers and a custom home in the suburbs
of Indianapolis.
When Victoria graduated with an MBA more than
a decade ago, she hoped she would be in this exact position at
this exact time in her life, destined to become the first African
American female CEO of JDL the Fortune 500 Marketing Firm. Victoria
dreamed she would use her power and prestige to pave the road
for other Black females climbing the ladder of success in Corporate
America.
However Victoria veered from that direction
long ago and has become swept up with materialism, power and competition.
As the intensity of the competition spikes, Victoria begins to
display physical symptoms of the tremendous stress. Still,her
desire to succeed never waivers. Nothing can stand in Victoria’s
way of becoming CEO, except feelings erupting with a new member
of the executive team. Ride along with Victoria as her detour
with the handsome and devilish co-worker heats up. Will Victoria
put the breaks on in time to salvage her marriage and career or
will she crash and burn?

The Author: |
|
Carmen Kelley Glenn was born in Cincinnati,
Ohio. She earned a
Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from Central State University
in Wilberforce, Ohio where she became a member of Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority Incorporated. She also earned a Master’s
of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Ball State University in
Muncie, Indiana. Carmen currently lives in Indianapolis, Indiana
with her husband and two children. She has always been a working
mother and believes a woman can have the best of both worlds.
Writing has been an enjoyment and passion. I have always dreamed
of sharing my short stories and developing them into a novel.
My involvement with
Go On Girl Book Club has been my inspiration
to complete the first novel I began more than two years ago. More
than anything, I wanted to tell an inspiring tale of an African
American female who dared to break away from the mold and make
a positive change for herself and others. My hope is the book
will give the reader food for thought and interesting discussion.
My prayer is the book will inspire the reader
to make their dreams a reality.
