Hardcover. Brand new aside from the sticker on the front of the dust jacket. Summary: Sydney Wells’s perfect life with her wealthy, devoted husband vanishes when he dies suddenly in an accident. Widowed at forty-nine, she discovers he has failed to include her in his will. With Andrew’s vicious daughters in control of his estate, and no home or money, Sydney finds a job in fashion, despite her own designers’ warnings. Naïve, out of her element, and alone in a world of shady international deals and dishonest people, she is set up by her boss and finds herself faced with criminal prosecution. Husband, safety, protection, money, and reputation gone, faced with prison, Sydney must rebuild her life from the bottom to the top again, with honor, resourcefulness, and dignity. She finds herself, as well as courage and resilience. Taking life by the horns, Sydney revives her own career as a talented designer, from New York to Hong Kong, risking all in an exotic, unfamiliar world.
