A laugh-out-loud, unforgettable story about the things people do to be seen and the courage it takes to follow one's heart, wherever it leads.
When thirty-four-year-old Harvard law graduate, Kate Becker, lands her dream job at an all-woman firm in Austin, Texas, she is on top of the world. Her quest to become a judge, and follow in the footsteps of her hero, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, suddenly seems possible. And best of all, she did it by edging out her sister and a shady colleague to boot.
Everything in her life is on track. If she doesn't screw up. The firm doesn't tolerate mistakes. It employs winners, only winners.
But when a misguided attempt to impress the boss goes horribly wrong, Kate must decide how far she's willing to go to save her dream. And what she'll risk for it. With help from her sister, mother, and a group of zany retired card club members, she discovers what really matters in work and in life.
Quirky, clever, and eminently relatable, The Pursuit of Being Noticed is filled with eccentric characters and is the perfect read for anyone who doubts if they are on the right path.
