Fiction
From award-winning author Frederick Dillen, an inspiring and
deeply moving novel about the power of second chances As a corporate “undertaker” for a mergers and acquisitions
firm in New York, Carol MacLean travels from factory to
factory, firing blue-collar workers who remind her of her
father and the kids she grew up with. She hates her job. But
Carol has been biding her time: her boss has promised that
one day, after she has paid her dues, Carol will get to run
a company instead of having to bury it. On what is supposed to be her last assignment, Carol travels
up the coast of Massachusetts to a desperate fishing town
where the late lobster and day boats cluster around the
inner harbor, the blue steeples of the Portuguese church
stand tall on the horizon, and the last remaining fish
processing plant is in its death throes. That’s when she
learns that she’s about to be fired. To save the town and herself, Carol becomes determined to
rescue the factory she’s under orders to shut down. With the
help of the townspeople and a roughly charming local
fisherman, and by the force of her own resolve, Carol throws
herself into transforming the company—but is soon faced with
increasingly difficult decisions. Must she choose between
the job she has always wanted and everything else? Beauty explores the ways in which one woman will risk
everything—her savings, her reputation, and even a chance at
love—in pursuit of her dream.
