New York

A Novel

As the firstborn son of an old and powerful family, William Jennings Worthington VI knows what it's like to be under pressure. Groomed from birth with the relentless message that he was destined for greatness, Will has always pushed himself to succeed--nearly as much as his never-satisfied financial tycoon father pushes him. Becoming CEO of his company seems the next logical step on the success ladder. But when circumstances turn, Will finds himself staring down a road that leads to Capitol Hill. Can he trade the board room for the Senate floor? Or will a closetful of family secrets keep him from his destiny? Bestselling author, psychologist, and birth order expert Dr. Kevin Leman teams up with novelist and journalist Jeff Nesbit for this compelling new series. In a culture that can't get enough of political intrigue and sneak peeks inside powerful families, this book is sure to find a ready audience.

Sean Worthington is shocked when he hears his older brother Will announce that he will not run for New York's Senate seat. In fact, he's angry. All of his efforts as Will's campaign manager are now for nothing--and Sean is left to handle questions from the press while Will walks away without a backward glance. Throughout his life, Sean has felt like an outsider in his own family. And not being told about his brother's plans is just one more piece of evidence that he's right.

Tired of being the odd one out, Sean is determined to forge his own path. Little does he know that it's not easy to escape your family--especially when a powerful secret from the past threatens to explode everything Sean ever believed.

Bestselling author, psychologist, and birth order expert Dr. Kevin Leman and novelist and journalist Jeff Nesbit are back with another intrigue-filled look inside the influential Worthington family.

Victorian Iconoclast, Children's Author, and Creator of the Railway Children

Casts new light on the remarkable life story of a literary legend. Considered the first modern children's author, Nesbit published over 40 captivating books throughout her lifetime, combining real-world adventure with fantasy. She influenced writers such as C.S. Lewis, P. L. Travers, and J.K. Rowling. Her books have been translated into dozens of languages and remain popular today. Nesbit's nomadic childhood and vivid imagination conjured up phobias that lasted into adulthood and she wrote stories to overcome her nightmares with characters inspired by family, friends, and events from her life. As an adult, she hosted legendary parties and was considered playful, contradictory and creative, described by George Bernard Shaw - one of several lovers - as 'audaciously unconventional'. Drawing from Nesbit's letters and deep archival research, Eleanor Fitzsimons describes her as a prolific lecturer and writer on socialism as well as a founding member of the Fabian Society. Nesbit railed against inequity, social injustice and state-sponsored oppression and incorporated her avant-garde ideas into her writing, influencing a generation of children - an aspect of her literary legacy examined here for the first time. Fitzsimons' eye-opening biography brings new light to the life and works of this famed literary icon, in whom pragmatism and idealism, tradition and modernity worked side-by-side to create a remarkable writer and woman. AUTHOR: Eleanor Fitzsimons is a researcher, writer, journalist and broadcaster specialising in historical and current feminist issues. Her work has been published in a range of newspapers and journals including The Sunday Times, The Guardian and The Irish Times and she is a regular radio and television contributor.
