Honey Malone is all business. She always has been. No one has ever told her otherwise.
This poignant, shrewdly told, and unexpectedly funny coming-of-age story opens our eyes to what is absurd and moving about a woman's daily existence in the corporate cubicles and fraught families of modern America.
A college honors student, all Honey wants is for her powerful businessman Dad to feel proud of her. She enters the working world with no compunction, starting at the bottom of the totem pole, sharpening the pencils of her OCD first boss, Mr. Meloso (
sweet
in Portuguese), who is decidedly NOT
meloso
. As Honey rises through the ranks and becomes a formidable opponent, the cutthroat world of business (and family) doesn't leave her unscathed. From sexist remarks to handsy bosses and drunk clients to an adored father who takes a steep fall from grace, Honey lets it all roll off her back-
-But she doesn't forget.
And boy does she get her reward. Our girl Honey Malone charges into her future with courage and impatience.
The Seven Bosses of Honey Malone
rips the white male privilege out of the hands of the bosses who, for better or worse, shape the career of a smart, young, determined woman.
Honey Malone is every woman you've ever seen interrupted, talked over, underestimated, and undermined by a man in the workplace, as the rest of the women in the room look on in unadulterated rage. She is you. And you. And me. And all of us.
