The Pippa Effect - Zanders, Rebekah C

. .

Résumé :
In a world ruled by money and power, Philippa Pippa Browning sings her own song where love has the power to change lives. Tucked away in the IT department of Monroe Enterprises for the past seven years, Pippa is unexpectedly thrust into the role of interpreter for visiting Chinese business moguls. Suddenly immersed in the intrigue of multi-national high powered corporations, her gestalt comes into direct conflict with Adam Monroe, CEO and heir to the Monroe fortune who, forced to take up the reins of Monroe Enterprises when his father absconded, bitterly runs his company fairly yet with cold precision. Undeterred, Pippa draws from her childhood experiences amongst state department diplomats and her family's passion for world peace to shine her powerful light of love on the jaded and bitter world of corporate America causing Adam to rethink his somewhat harsh business tactics and broken familial relationships. But even a beacon as strong as Pippa's needs tending, and when the trauma of her past threatens to snuff out her light, Adam and the people closest to her must step in to remind her that love still wins. Inspired by Robert Browning's dramatic poem, Pippa Passes, The Pippa Effect presents a modern day re-telling of the timeless theme where one person's love and positive outlook forever changes the lives of people passing by.
