Altman, a high end department store, is about to learn how the art of seduction will affect both her marriage and career.

Challenged at work by unethical demands, and the growing awareness that her relationship with her distant husband is strained, Dana must deal with the unwanted changes in her life. Can she find her place in the new world where women can have a voice, or will she allow herself to be manipulated into doing things that go against her growing self-confidence? A Very Good Life chronicles the perils and rewards of Dana’s journey, alongside some of the most legendary women of the twentieth century. From parties at Café des Artistes to the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony, from meetings with business icons like Estée Lauder to cocktail receptions with celebrity guests like legendary Vogue editor Diana Vreeland. Steward’s intimate knowledge of the period creates the perfect backdrop for this relatable story about a woman’s quest for self-identity.

STORY STORY: How I Found Ways to Make a Difference and Do Work I Love
By Kola Olaosebikan / Genre: Leaders & Notable People, Biographies & Memoirs / Rating: 4.8 out of 5 stars (63 reviews)
One day, I had an idea. What if my entire life was centered on making a difference and doing work I love?
So rather than engage in occasional or random acts of kindness, my life was a life of service. And rather than drudge through eight hours of work every day, I could earn my living from doing work that I actually enjoyed.
This single idea sent me on a journey that has spanned 5 years, 12 countries, 86 YouTube videos, and countless boxes of Chinese food. STORY STORY is a funny, lighthearted, yet provocative book about finding passion, taking risks, having faith, and all the unexpected lessons learned along the way.
STORY STORY is not a “how-to” guide.
It is an example, a companion, a friend even, for any young adult that has ever dreamed of making a difference in the world or doing work that is personally exciting and meaningful.

Her pedestrian reality crashes around her after an innocuous touch from a diabolically handsome stranger. Just one touch from Nathan Newcomb and her head and her world spins out of control. Soon she discovers that the only cure for the uneasy feelings and pain is Nathan himself. A man whose very existence balances between violent chaos and rigidly controlled dangers.
Nathan knows that the life of a woman mated to a burdened Sephlem is destined for peril beyond a human’s reckoning. But Tracey calls to his desire to experience love in spite of the hazards. And Nathan’s impossibly potent magnetism draws Tracey into a bonding that will put her in mortal danger again and again.
Once the pair becomes one, the threat escalates and nowhere is safe. There are enemies that lurk behind every corner. But the greatest danger may be in the bloodlines that course through Nathan’s veins.
Can a love for all time survive or will their burdened souls surrender and fade away?
