Rachel sought what most women did-to be successful, married and in love, have healthy kids. It was hard enough attracting a man when she wasn't heroin thin or chic like most L.A. women, or sparkly, but not too bright, as her mom insisted females should be. But in the 1990s, finding a man wanting an equal partner, a woman beside him instead of behind him, seemed the impossible dream. Then along came Lee... How Far Have Women Come in 30 yrs? DISCONNECTED is a modern, historical novel about the Coming of Age OF women, for women. The story exposes the antiquated roles women were expected to maintain in the recent past, up close, and very personal. It reveals the impossible standards of feminism-being poised, confident, cover-girl worthy, all while cimbing the corporate ladder, and raising a family. DISCONNECTED mirrors the challenges most women still face today. Deemed a "Novel Memoir," by the author, in defense of James Frey on Oprah, DISCONNECTED is "Poignant, Compelling, Thought-Provoking," Woman's Fiction that will linger long after the read.
