Description

Best-selling author Samantha Greene Woodruff will talk about her latest book, The Trade Off at the JCC's Literary Luncheon/Community Read Inaugural Event on Wednesday, November 13 at 12:30 PM.

A grip­ping his­tor­i­cal tale of greed, ambi­tion, and fam­i­ly ties from best­selling author Saman­tha Greene Woodruff. In roar­ing ’20s Man­hat­tan, Bea Abramovitz is a young Jew­ish woman with a tal­ent for math and an uncan­ny under­stand­ing of the stock mar­ket. Bea dreams of work­ing as a bro­ker on Wall Street and her smarts and tenac­i­ty land her an inter­view at the famous House of Mor­gan, in the new Ladies Depart­ment, a divi­sion cre­at­ed to man­age female clien­tele. She yearns to put her uncan­ny stock-pick­ing skills to bet­ter use, but the male-dom­i­nat­ed world of Wall Street won’t accept her. When her twin broth­er Jake returns home after los­ing every­thing in a Ponzi scheme out west, Bea sees her oppor­tu­ni­ty: he’ll get the job on Wall Street, and she’ll pick the stocks. With Bea’s help, Jake’s star swift­ly ris­es at Nation­al City Bank. As the decade draws to a close, every­one else is cel­e­brat­ing the country’s new state of “per­ma­nent pros­per­i­ty” but Bea sees signs of a crash loom­ing.

Sam’s debut nov­el, The Lobotomist’s Wife, was a #1 Ama­zon best­seller and First Reads pick. Her writ­ing has appeared in Newsweek, Writer’s Digest, Female First, Read 650 and more.
