The Widow of Wall Street by Randy Susan Meyers

The Widow of Wall Street by Randy Susan Meyers

The seemingly blind love of a wife for her husband as he conquers Wall Street, and her extraordinary, perhaps foolish, loyalty during his precipitous fall, is expertly explored in this ripped-from-the-headlines story about love, ambition, and forgiveness (PopSugar)--perfect for fans of the TV show Billions.

Phoebe recognizes fire in Jake Pierce's belly from the moment they meet as teenagers. After they marry and he creates a financial dynasty, she trusts him without hesitation--unaware his hunger for success hides a dark talent for deception.

But when Phoebe learns her husband's triumph and vast reach rests on an elaborate Ponzi scheme, her world unravels. While Jake is trapped in the web of his deceit, Phoebe is caught facing an unbearable choice. Her children refuse to see her if she remains at their father's side, but abandoning him feels cruel and impossible.

From penthouse to prison, with tragic consequences rippling well beyond Wall Street, Randy Susan Meyers's latest novel exposes a woman struggling to survive and then redefine her life as her world crumbles. An engrossing emotional journey (Kirkus Reviews) and USA TODAY bestselling author Diane Chamberlain raves, With all the suspense of a thriller, The Widow of Wall Street quickly pulled me into the story and didn't let me go until the last page.

The drama of Randy Susan Meyers' internationally bestselling novels is informed by over twenty years working with criminal offenders and families impacted by emotional and physical violence. The Widow of Wall Street, described by Publisher's Weekly as An engaging and sharp reflection of the rapid changes in marital dynamics over the course of the 20th century, as well as a cautionary tale about the dangers and allure of ambition in the heyday of Wall Street was a New York Post, Refinery 29, and PopSugar Pick. Associate Press called the novel compelling. Two previous novels, The Murderer's Daughters and Accidents of Marriage were finalists for the Mass Book Awards (2010 & 2015) and included as a Must Read Book by the Massachusetts Council of the Book, who wrote, The clear and distinctive voice of Randy Susan Meyers will have you enraptured and wanting more. The Boston Globe called Meyers' second novel, The Comfort of Lies Sharp and biting, and sometimes wickedly funny when the author skewers Boston's class and neighborhood dividing lines, but it has a lot of heart, too. Choosing Accidents of Marriage as a People Pick of The Week, the magazine wrote, This novel's unsparing look at emotional abuse and its devastating consequences gives it gravity and bite, while a glimpse into a physically damaged mind both surprises and fascinates. The Murderer's Daughters, deemed a Knock-out Debut by the LA Times was a nationwide Target Book Club pick. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Randy now lives in Boston with her husband and is the mother of two grown daughters. She teaches writing seminars at Boston's Grub Street Writers' Center and at Writer in Progress in Northampton, MA. There are currently thirty-six foreign editions of her novels.
