Seven Days: A Memoir of Risk, Recovery and Revelation

After a day of negotiating the biggest deal of her career, Bobbie McMorrow catches a plane to attend a family weekend at her son's rehab center. Seven Days is the author's intimate account of the extraordinary events over the course of one week in which her professional and personal lives clash and climax, leaving career and family hanging in the balance. From riveting portrayals of high-flying, chess-gaming deals in the heart of the most powerful law firms, to the heart-wrenching - and sometimes hilarious --stories of people struggling to stay sober, McMorrow's memoir is rife with insights and memorable characters. And in Bobbie's conversations with her son, Justin, we glimpse the ties that bind and blind us to those we most love. Seven Days is a powerful narrative of one woman's willingness to reappraise everything--her perceptions of herself, her relationships to her career and family and her understanding of what it means to be a spiritual being living in today's world.
