Men, Money, and the Matriarch - Paperback

by Holly Gordon (Author)

Men, money, and the matriarch influenced Morgan Ross's every decision. Each possesses the ability to love or destroy-to exert power over you or to empower you. The love and loss of her father set the stage for three weddings, two affairs, and one funeral. Morgan's relationship with her mother is complex. Growing up, Morgan struggles with the expectations of being a dutiful daughter and a good girl while excelling in golf and business and falling for intriguing men. In her escape from a dying father and a controlling mother, Morgan navigates her marriages, embarks on a new career as a successful stockbroker, and strives to become a mother. Her outward success conceals a dark secret of domestic abuse inflicted by her alcoholic husband. Based on a true story, Morgan liberates herself from the power of men, money, and her mother to discover the strength within her - the power of one.

My name is Holly Gordon, and like Morgan Ross, I have experienced a tumultuous yet remarkable life. It's a story filled with risk, heartache, passion, ambition, trauma, and a knack for coping through humour and love. Dancing in the rain and singing to the red cedars have seen me through the highs and lows, allowing me to immerse myself in the essence of life in its rawest form and cherish every precious moment. My journey has led me from sports to teaching, business, and becoming an author, all of which I wholeheartedly embrace.
