Title Synopsis:
It made sense for Abigail Dresden to help her father with his porta potty business when reconstructive surgery on her knee ended her career as a dancer – but CEO? They claim that she’s a natural, but she has felt like a fraud all along. Witth no one to talk to, her life was spiraling out of control until she met a so-called CEO-whisperer named Saul and his larger-than-life group of CEO’s that she’d never have dared to call peers. Can she pull her health, business, and relationship out of a tailspin and regain some balance in her life? Perhaps, but certainly not alone.

Who's Got Your Back? by Garold Marle.
As a lawyer and fiction writer myself, one of my pet peeves is fictional settings which do not reflect reality--whether law firm, corporate, or otherwise. Not in this book. Mr. Markle's long career as a Fortune 500 corporate consultant allows him to lay bare the traffic accidents within corporate America that we cannot turn away from. "Who's Got Your Back?" is an exhilarating ride through the trials of personal and professional upheaval that will captivate every reader. Abigail Dresden’s journey from a promising dancer to the unexpected CEO of her father’s portable toilet business is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. When a devastating knee injury ends her dancing career, Abigail is thrust into a role that feels anything but natural. Despite her undeniable skill, she struggles with imposter syndrome and isolation. The novel takes several compelling turns as she faces off against an eclectic entourage of high-powered executives. This group, larger-than-life and filled with wisdom, becomes Abigail’s unexpected lifeline. Through their guidance, she begins to unravel the unexpected complexities of leadership, self-worth, and human connection. "Who's Got Your Back?" masterfully explores the themes of resilience and self-discovery, blending humor with profound emotional depth. The characters are vividly drawn, and the narrative is both engaging and thought-provoking. Abigail’s transformation is a testament to the power of mentorship and community, making this book a must-read for anyone grappling with their own personal or professional challenges. This novel not only entertains but also uplifts, leaving readers with a renewed sense of hope and inspiration.
