Deathbed Dimes (ePub)

Joely Zeller, a beautiful and ambitious 32-year-old attorney is the only daughter of a Hollywood fi lm royal. She's determined to build a successful career, find love, and get married, all without her family's help. To emerge from under her parents' cloud of notoriety, Joely flees to New York to practice Estates and Trust law at a blue-chip Wall Street law fi rm. Enduring 90-hour workweeks for the next six years, she sacrifices her love life, only to have her career efforts foiled by her incredibly incompetent male counterpart. Joely then sees her golden ticket to self-actualization. With her experience and her Hollywood connections, she could start her own law firm back in Los Angeles. With her two best friends and former law classmates as partners, Joely sets about helping the recently disowned, dispossessed, and penniless sharpen their claws as they stake their claims to the fortunes of their dearly departed."A funny, acerbic, and raucous read"- Terry Fallis, author of award winning Best Laid Plans"Will have you turning pages and up all night.
