When other little girls were dreaming about becoming doctors or lawyers, Alex Garrett set her sights on conquering the high-powered world of Wall Street. And while she's prepared to fight her way into an elitist boys' club, or duck the occasional errant football, she quickly realizes she's in over her head when she is relegated to a kiddie-sized folding chair with her new monikerโGirlieโinscribed in whiteout across the back. No matter. Sheโs determined she's got the stamina to make it in bond sales at Cromwell Pierce, one of The Streetโs most esteemed brokerage firms. Keeping her eyes on the prize, sheโll endure whatever menial, degrading tasks come her wayโtrekking to the Bronx for $1,000 wheels of Parmesan cheese, discovering a secretaryโs secret Friday night dance party in the conference room; fielding a constant barrage of "friendly" practical jokes, learning to ropes from her unpredictable, slightly scary, loyalty demanding boss; even babysitting a colleague while he consumes the entire contents of a vending machine on a $28,000 bet. Ignoring her friendsโ pleas to quit, Alex excels (while learning how to roll with the punches and laugh at herself) and soon advances from lowly analyst to slightly- less-lowly associate. Suddenly, sheโs addressed by her real name and the impenetrable boysโ club has transformed into thirty-eight older brothers and one possible boyfriend. Then The Apocalypse hits. As her life on The Street falls into the depths of intolerable crueltyโboth personally and professionallyโAlex is forced to choose between sticking with Cromwell Pierce as it teeters on the brink of disaster and kicking off her Jimmy Choos to run for higher ground.
