THE APOLOGY PROJECT by Jeanette Escudero - Review & Giveaway
Amelia Montgomery is a successful, tough-as-nails Chicago criminal litigator. She lives to strut around the courtroom in her designer suits ripping the opposition to pieces. But in Jeanette Escudero's novel, THE APOLOGY PROJECT (LakeUnion), Amelia needs a little help in the personality department. While she's outstanding at work, she has an edge that keeps people away from her.
She's put on as the lead attorney in a high profile case, but when her bosses pressure her to compromise her values and principles she snaps. She punches one of the partners in the face and is immediately fired, but not without negotiating a huge monetary payoff in exchange for signing a NDA (non-disclosure agreement).
Her 40th birthday is fast approaching and she sees this as an opportunity to invite all her friends from the past and former coworkers to a huge party she's arranged. She wants to catch up with all the people she's tossed to the curb, because her career has always come first. No expense is spared and she's wearing the perfect designer gown. Her parents and one other person from the office, who she doesn't know are the only people who show up. She proceeds to get drunk and talk with the uninvited guest. The Apology Project is born.
What follows is a humorous, often poignant story about real issues women face in today's workplace. THE APOLOGY PROJECT is a personal journey of self-discovery and an attempt to right wrongs. Jeanette Escudero is a fresh voice in writing romcoms with tangible substance.
Jeanette Escudero worked as an attorney before picking up a pen at thirty years old to write something other than legal briefs. Being published fulfilled a dream and gave her an outlet for her imaginative, romantic side. Writing as Sidney Halston, she is a USA Today bestselling author of multiple romance series.
Under her real name, Jeanette Escudero, you’ll fall in love with her Women’s Fiction books that always have relatable and flawed woman heroines. Jeanette’s voice is always funny and you’ll end up laughing from start to finish, even while shedding a tear or two.
In addition to writing and reading, Jeanette has a passion for travel and adventure. Born in Miami, Florida, to Cuban parents, she currently lives in South Florida with her husband and her three children, in whom she’s instilled a love of nature and an appreciation for the planet.

ReplyDeletemost difficult apology I had to make was to my parents after I eloped. 48 years later I'm still married, but would have done it differently if given a "do-over." phyllis@evanspr.net
ReplyDeleteTo my friend when I couldn't make her daughter's baby shower. I was 200 miles away taking care of a family member after back surgery.
