    [synopsis] => The Writing on the Wall is both the real-life adventure story of a trailblazing woman and a penetrating exploration of working moms. The author's determination as a child to change the norms of the1950s and forge a new path, led to a roller-coaster ride of adventures at an evolutionary time in the woman's movement.
After breaking through a glass ceiling at a New York advertising agency and traveling for a year to find her place in the world, the author returned to New York City, where she founded an innovative startup company in 1970 at age twenty-seven. Creative Freelancers Inc. became the first agency to connect business with freelance artists and writers. The idea thrived for over twenty-five years in Manhattan and the company became the first agency on the internet in 1997.
Marriage to an older, extroverted man in 1976 brought 3 teenage daughters and two children of her own, which amplified business challenges. She persevered. The author was, picked by ADWEEK Magazine of New York in 1983 as one of the top twelve women in advertising most likely to succeed, and the only one with children.
Later, converging events pointing toward life decisions became visible. Moreover, unexpected outcomes unfolded in ways that were, foretold by a Fulbright Scholar from India at age eighteen. The book tells an epic tale about life and love, from family flapper stories in the 1920s until today's era of 21st century women. The reader is, brought into an entertaining journey at a historical time in history, while learning from experiences along the way.
