Description/Synopsis: Passions are at war in New York City Labor Union Strike When Passions Are At War With Principles! A powerful, unique novel for every woman caught between her career and principles. Caroline Keller is the first woman labor representative for the nation's largest newspaper - the 'New York Mirror.' She is the fastest in the fast lane, racing straight to the top. Until she finds herself bargaining not only for her employer, but also her heart. Opponents from the outset, Caroline Keller (Management) and Lester Gordon (Labor Union's President- of Cherokee American roots) are each determined to win the battles that explode amid the electric tensions of major NYC newspapers' union/management negotiations. Excerpt: Tensions are running high as striking workers continue to picket the NEW YORK MIRROR, the nation's largest daily newspaper. Thirty-something year old Caroline Keller, born a Southern-belle and now a tough-as-nails New Yorker gal, takes her place at the bargaining table. She's the Labor Relations Representative for the New York Mirror, and negotiations between Management and Newspaper Guild have deadlocked. Lester Gordon, the President of the Newspaper Guild, of Cherokee ancestry and renown as the champion of the underdog, is the man making sure the demands of the Guild are heard, and met. Seated at opposite sides of the table, locked in confrontation, Caroline and Lester grow more and more voluble and more and more aware of each other's presence. Both know that it is foolish to become involved with each other. Both know it can ruin their careers. Yet neither of them can resist the flow of emotion and crescendoing passion. Caroline and Lester are compelled to enter into a relationship surely destined for heartbreak. Caroline knows their affair can undermine her employer's confidence in her. She isn't sure she can keep her feelings for Lester apart from the issues they must resolve, and that she'll be able to maintain the integrity and detachment vital to the negotiations. Caught between her principles, loyalty to her mentor, the profession to which she has dedicated many years, and Lester Gordon, the man she loves, Caroline's final choice will have to be as defining as the Great Newspaper Strike which is dividing them with its raging flames! |
