Produktbeschreibung
It's 2001 and technology startups are melting down faster than the polar ice caps, including the telecom company where Marilyn Carr had been employed for barely four months. With an eye-watering mortgage on her fixer-upper house in downtown Toronto, unemployment was not an option. Then Lady Luck dropped a lucrative consulting contract in her lap. All-expenses-paid travel across the United States, interviewing fascinating business leaders and writing compelling success stories. And U.S. dollars in the bank. What she didn't bank on was the culture shock. The country next door was like another planet. Even the USA Today weather map dissolved into a fuzzy void above the 49th parallel. Join our heroine as she becomes a road warrior in a foreign land, and channels her inner Mary Tyler Moore: making it on her own.
