Synopsis
"Rotstein vividly outlines the lives of three successful women who reminisce about what they have sacrificed--traditional family values for career and vice versa--to get what they want.... She brings her three protagonists to life with sympathy."
--Publishers Weekly
"In ways tragic, lonely and heroic this novel shimmers with contemporary hopes and fears. Recommended for its dramatic plotting and riveting dialogue."
Rating: Excellent
--The Readers Review
"What is the price of career success for women? The author takes us through the lives of three successful women, and in the inevitable juggling of home, family and career, sacrifices are made. The plot is well-crafted, the dialogue realistic and the characters well-drawn.
--New Books: The magazine for readers and reading groups (U.K.)
Novel holds a mirror to today's woman trying to balance family, career and fulfillment.
Three talented and determined women reach the pinnacle of success and find themselves thrown together at a critical moment that will change each of their lives forever.
In her powerful novel SHATTERING GLASS, Nancy-Gay Rotstein masterfully weaves the tales of three women, who, like so many, find themselves caught between career and family, trying to maintain a precarious balance between success, independence and motherhood. With compelling realism, SHATTERING GLASS confronts these issues that remain unresolved as it follows the women through their challenges, pain, joy and triumphs. Rotstein creates three very different women, each of whom in their own way shatter the "glass ceiling" and must cope with the inner turmoil brought on by being pulled in opposite directions by her desire for career success and striving to be a good mother.
