Piece of Work (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of Piece of Work Sunday, August 9 2009.

• Julia Einstein never thought she'd have to go back to her high-stress job as a celebrity publicist, with its monstrous egos, imperfect illusions, and 24-hour spin. But when her husband loses his job, she has no choice. Suddenly stranded at a third-rate publicity firm in New York City that specializes in resuscitating the careers of "Has-Beens," Julia's first assigment is to promote the launch of a perfume created to engineer the comeback of 73-year-old former screen legend Mary Ford. Forced to go on the road with the aging diva to promote her failing product, Julia finds herself tested to the brink of human endurance--by her mercurial and abusive charge, and by angry PETA activists, PR disasters, and a perfume that, well...stinks. As Julia confronts the hard choices of her unwanted job and upended family life, she will discover that happiness--at home and at work--can be found in the unlikeliest places.
