WORK IN PROGRESS

Lori’s upmarket novel-in-progress is set in the art and restaurant worlds of 1980s New York City. After being fired from her dream job for sleeping with her boss, Southern Belle, Marcy Cornell, attempts to answer the pivotal question: Can women have it all?

For fans of:

  • Writers & Lovers, by Lily King, who are drawn to its love triangle and theme of pursuing one’s art at any cost

  • Climbing in Heels, by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, who enjoy its depiction of 1980s Hollywood glass-ceiling-breakers

  • And those who never miss an annual rewatch of Working Girl for the 80s fashions, music, and workplace misogyny

    Y’all will root for Marcy as she battles societal expectations, heartbreak, and family drama to pursue her dream of opening a gallery for women artists in SoHo and finding the love of her life.
