by Jeanne McWilliams Blasberg (Author)
Days after graduation, Betsabé Ruiz's life in New York is turning out to be nothing less than cinematic. Although her first job at a white-shoe, Wall Street investment bank is the opportunity of a lifetime, she is not prepared for the magnitude of wealth swirling about her, the long hours and close quarters that infuse her professional relationships with intimacy, nor an unexpected attraction to her boss. And like all great films, Betsabé's New York dream comes with a twist that challenges her to find a balance between where she came from and where she's going.
Narrated in the retrospective as a letter of wisdom to her unborn son, Daughter of a Promise captures not only Betsabé's coming of age but also her journey to understand that deep-seated forces such as desire and love are more complicated than she ever could have imagined.Author Biography
