From the author of A Brooklyn Story and one of USA TODAYβs celebrated βNew Voices of 2011,β comes a new novel which exposes the over-the-top decadenceβand corruptionβof Wall Streetβs elite. The follow-up to Suzanne Corsoβs debut novel, A Brooklyn Story, chronicles Samantha Bontiβs life as a young woman from Brooklyn struggling to rise above her poverty-stricken background and find love and success βover the bridgeβ in Manhattan. When she meets the man of her dreams in Alec, a successful Wall Street broker, she thinks her prayers for stability and security have been answered. But as she struggles to carve out a place for herself in Alecβs worldβthe excessively decadent, secretly seedy, and wholly unfamiliar world of Manhattanβs eliteβshe begins to wonder if sheβll ever truly feel at home by Alecβs side. And when a risky business move coincides with a market crash, Alecβs fortune begins to slip away, and Samantha is left scrambling to pick up the pieces of her swiftly crumbling fairy tale.
