It's 1961 and Palm Beach socialite, irresistible rascal and devoted
father Jack Morgan encounters genuine danger while staging his
suicide to shield his beloved daughters from scandal and disgrace.
Next, meet his daughter Charlotte (Charlie), an over-indulged 23
year-old struggling to cope with the loss of her beloved father,
her sister's resulting mental breakdown and the discovery that
she's now penniless. Fortunately Raul, an admiring young attorney,
offers assistance to the traumatized young woman, who can joke
about her inadequacies. As terrified as she is about paying for her
sister's costly treatment and her own daily survival, Charlie soon
realizes that she must learn what drove her father to kill himself.
With Raul's much needed ego-bolstering, she pursues a career that
makes practical use of her lanky 5' 11" frame. Despite roadblocks
and emotional upheavals, she embarks on an ocean-spanning journey
that leads to a family she doesn't know, distressing truths about
her father, crimes great and small, a diabolical villain and a
fireworks of surprise endings. Excerpts from reviews of "Exceeding
Expectations: " "Lisa April Smith . . . has woven an intriguingly
rich tapestry of delightful well-developed characters into a
perfectly balanced plot bursting with riveting mystery, crimes of
the petty and the horrible sort, suspenseful twists, and romantic
tension complete with love scenes that sizzle and pop." "Set in the
varied and stunning backdrops of early 1960s Palm Beach and
Manhattan high society, as well as mid-1930s to early 1940s Paris .
. ." Cari L. Pedstelak: http: //audacityshewrote.com ." . . it's
the authentic details of the time-periods that make it fun to read
. . ." "historical and fictitious characters work in sync as they
are perfectly set in these time frames, and midst the transitory
madness of WWs I and II Paris." " Smith's writing isn't over-blown
with emotion and sappy romance; rather, it is sophisticated and
subtle." "It's witty, fun and sassy." Deborah Previte: http:
