Opis

NEXT EXIT by Catherine Burr, previously published as Desires and Deceptions, is about making tough decisions and whether you should stay the course, the path of least resistance, or take the next exit. NEXT EXIT is a coming of age story is set in the early Silicon Valley years and explores the story of Marisa as she yearns for a better life. Through losses she suffers at an early age, it doesn't seem possible that life could bring more hurt. Yet it does. Determined for a stronger future, she sets on a quest for affluence, even if it means hurting those she loves the most. Along her journey, secrets and lies are as abundant as the elusive lure of stock options of the wealthy in the valley. Whom can she trust? Anyone? She soon learns the path to riches is filled with greed, lust, and deceptions. She is not alone in her quest and wants it all, but at what cost? Customer Review: "Marisa is a poor girl who seeks more out of life and the story follows her as she grows from bratty teenager to cranky wife and hurried mother who tries to keep up with the affluent high-tech lifestyle of the San Francisco Bay Area. Marisa gets sucked into all the riches she sees before her and the quick way to make a buck disillusions her, but not as much as she begins to doubt her relationship with her husband. This did have a surprise ending, an enjoyable trait to Catherine Burr novels."
