Woman On Top: A Woman’s Struggle To Find Herself After Losing Everything She Believed Was Important

New York, NY – Whether it’s Woody Allen’s
latest movie, Blue Jasmine, or looking at the recent cover of The New
Yorker magazine showing Anthony Weiner on top of the Empire State
Building, one has to wonder has anything changed since Nora slammed the
door over a hundred years ago in Ibsen’s iconic play A Doll’s House?
Deborah Schwartz made sure that they did in her timely novel, Woman on
Top (Laudan Press). The juxtaposition of Jasmine sitting on a bench
jabbering aimlessly at the end of Woody’s movie, and Kate, the heroine
in Deborah’s novel, sitting on top of Mount Kilimanjaro, is striking!

Deborah
Schwartz makes her literary debut with a story that captures the
essence and excesses of New York City and is a gem of a read. Woman on
Top is a captivating, sexy and romantic tale of the seduction of
enormous money, heady excitement and luxurious glamour.

Falling
prey to Len, a very wealthy Wall Street banker who is hell-bent on
acquiring her as his next deal, Kate struggles after the death of her
husband to keep control amidst the detours of a tempestuous New York
romance. As witness to a world of power and greed that life in New York
offers to a vulnerable woman, can Kate ultimately rescue herself from
the lure that is Len’s world?

Throughout this compelling story,
which is inspired by actual events from the author’s own life, Schwartz
cleverly weaves self-empowering thoughts into her heroine’s exploits,
making it less the ‘damsel in distress’ and more the infinitely
successful ‘woman on top!’ In this amazing look at a woman’s journey to
finding herself, readers will both laugh and cry as they relate to Kate
and her decisions, emotions and experiences.

While following her
quest for a reaffirmation of life and love, including a surprising
adventure, Kate’s story touches on the unexpected pleasures and
decisions we face throughout our lives. Readers who have dreamed of, or
survived, a “Len” in their lives, will recognize themselves in Kate as
she searches to find what matters most in her new life. What does a 35
year-old woman who seems to have it all do when the rug is pulled out
from under her? Kate’s struggle to find inner strength on her journey
down a slippery slope with a Wall Street man leaves readers wondering
and rooting for her to land as the ‘woman on top.’ For more information,

Born
and raised in New York, Deborah Schwartz graduated from Tufts
University and then obtained her Masters in History at Columbia
University where she wrote a thesis on “Feminism in Eighteenth Century
England.” She received her J.D. from Boston University School of Law.
Today, Deborah’s passion is writing and she incorporated her achievement
of having reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2011 into her
debut novel. A New Yorker to the core, Deborah is most grateful to be
the mother of her two grown children.
