She is going to sell you something and you will buy it.


It’s Fashion Week and Lower Manhattan churns with construction on the third anniversary of 9/11, as Emma O’Farrell Paige arrives at the federal courthouse to depose her former boss, the diabolical villain behind a counterfeit perfume ring.

With little more than tenacity and courage, Emma breaks free from her dysfunctional Midwest childhood and fights for her long-distance marriage to independent league baseball pitcher Ethan Paige, as she plays to win among world-class dealmakers in the trenches of the international beauty biz.

Under the guidance of mentor and boss Julian Petrenko, Emma masterminds the two-hundred-million-dollar fragrance deal with boy band sensation UK Connection. When the deal of the decade reveals the underbelly of the vaulted Beautyland, Emma is forced to examine herself as closely as she’s studied the beauty game.

*********

    Enjoyable Read for anyone, even if you didn't grow up in the cosmetics/beauty world. Beautyland.

    What a pleasant and amazing surprise...
    Old flower-child that I am, what I know about the beauty industry would not fill a thimble but I thought I'd give the book a try, anyway. I fell in love with the character, Emma, and her gutsy and determined rise from a dysfunctional homefront to fulfil her dreams on an international scale, her brash personality, her sometimes abrupt honesty spun a compelling adventure. The story is intriguing, honest, and filled with self-reflection that exposes insecurities based on Emma's shaky 'roots'. In a way, it's a love story, love between two young survivors of a hard-knocks existence, love of the validation Emma gains when people recognize her savvy and drive, love of the results she orchestrates through hard work, sharp, focused attention, and emulation of those she admires. Her vision never falters and she is a rags-to-riches central character

    Interesting to read about the dirty side of the beauty industry. Everyone will be able to relate to the retailers, the cities and relationships. Those who worked in the industry may have some fun trying to connect the dots!
