Description

A writer at Dateline NBC tries her hand at a different kind of mystery, perfect for fans of Chandler Bakers Whisper Network, where a cynical TV news producer sells out her principles to rise to her networks top job, and comes face-to-face with what appears to be her idealistic teenage self.

Everleigh Page is on the cusp of greatness. Executive producer of an award-winning primetime news magazine, shes just been offered a role never attained by a woman at her network: president of the news division. It will be her job to shape coverage of world events and mold the journalists of tomorrow.

Too bad in order to get here shes sold out most of the principles she held as an idealistic young reporter. Too bad shes just, at the direction of her boss, fired two of her best staffers and killed an important investigative story that could save lives. As a woman, she knows, you have to play ball to get to the top. Even if it means bending your moral code or breaking up with your boyfriend. Sean may be the love of her life, but his large, complicated family has started taking up too much of her time.

Her younger self wouldnt recognize her. Or will she

When a college reunion takes a mystical twist, Everleigh finds herself defending her choices to the toughest critic in the world and confronting a crucial question: can she possibly right all the wrongs she was willing to tolerate just an hour ago
