Her Backyard
Audrey Beane is a New York advertising VP and workaholic who has lost balance in her life. She's overbearing. She yells, and she's defensive. Confused about who she is at age thirty-four, Audrey begins to self-reflect, wondering - what happened to the carefree girl she used to be? She wants to paint, feel the sun on her face, and enjoy life more. When an unexpected phone call from Audrey's sister begs her to come back home to Florida to tend to a family emergency, Audrey is given a chance to see another side of life she could have had, including a relationship with her one love. Old wounds open. Meanwhile, her corporate account is in chaos. And what’s working against Audrey behind the scenes in New York City challenges her integrity and ethics. Ah, but the Big Apple is a hypnotic place, and the power and money is good. When Audrey’s career and personal life collide, she is faced with tough decisions about her future and balancing it all. With this funny and poignant novel, Doreen Lewis chronicles the path of an overworked woman who begins to take charge of her own destiny.

I love this book....In the day of corporate mentality which we all know is unstable, Audrey Beane is a dose of reality. How many of us are burned out by our jobs, feeling no love and just want to quit the rat race? A chance call home is the answer to a prayer that Audrey doesn't even know she'd been praying. Time to find the inner meaning of life, love and hope. We are all Audrey, wondering what it is all about. Find yourself falling in love with life again through Audrey's eyes. You will laugh and cry with this diva.
