"After reading "PLAYING FOR KEEPS", I went through several rounds of interviews for two DA's offices. Out of 100 applicants, I was fortunate to be offered both jobs. "The whole time I was thinking of your tips to success, especially at times when I was the only female in the room. I kept telling myself "people work with people they like, so just be likeable!!!". - Kaitlin R.

"Therese Allison presents us with a book that is in part a family memoir and in part an insight into the mindset of an extremely successful businesswoman. I laughed, I cried and I scribbled down lessons I wanted to learn. This intimate biography is inspiring and timeless. If you have ever dreamed of retiring at 43 and wondered how you can achieve such a thing, then this is a book you can't afford to pass by. "- Artisan Book Review
