"Power Play takes readers into the boardrooms and playgrounds of top tier corporate America, exploring the costs of great power through the intersecting stories of three indelible women: a high-powered CEO, a long-time 'corporate wife,' and an aspiring artist struggling to raise a family with an absentee father. The lives of three women are linked in ways that none could have imagined. Fiona Carson is one of the most successful women in the country as the CEO of a large corporation while also trying to find time for the role she considers most important - that of mother to her two children. After spending seventeen years in a failed marriage, she has embraced motherhood and her profession as the most rewarding aspects of her life, and has closed herself off to the prospect of new love. Liz Weston happily gave up her own promising law career to act as a 'corporate wife' to her husband of twenty-seven years, the CEO of the second-largest corporation in the country. With no regrets for what she has sacrificed, Liz finds her role as a wife and mother to be wholly satisfying, her love for her husband as strong as the day they met. Ashley Briggs is a thirty-year-old artist raising her twin daughters nearly on her own. She met the father of her children while working as a receptionist, but he has another life and a powerful job hundreds of miles away-- Each will be forced to reevaluate everything they are sure of as they realize that with greater power comes higher stakes" --
