She was the perfect wife, to a successful surgeon who wanted her at home even when he stopped coming home. She was a perfect mother, to children who treated her like a servent. She was a woman who reached beyond her shattered illusions of happily-ever-after for a dream of success and riches all her own. Never forgetting she was a lovely woman-in a man's world of cutthroat power struggles and multi-million-dollar deals-she would follow her driving passion for life from the playgrounds of Bel Air to the boardrooms of New York. On her way to the top there would be men who tried to keep her down, men who tried to use her-and one man who would make her see the beautiful extraordinary woman she was.

Ok, to be perfectly honest with you, Manhattan by Neal Travis is about character development through New York City. It's showered with famous Midtown places of the 70s such as 21, Elaine's, Studio 54, and Costello's. The plot is a long developing story about Michael Glennon trying to save the magazine Manhattan from being bought out by a board member. This ultimately takes on many exciting adventures to different places. Travis leads the reader through the powerful-closed doors of the chic in NYC. With an outcome to be determined! A good buy, if you like to read about the NYC life or you just like to be entertained.
