Aurora Boswell, an African American woman in her late forties, has
worked her way up the corporate ladder at the City Conference and
Exhibition Center in Memphis, Tennessee. But apparently, her ladder
of success has just hit a very low ceiling.
Trying to work hard and prove herself worthy of advancement does
nothing to convince those above her that Aurora deserves to be
promoted. She is repeatedly denied promotions while younger,
less-qualified employees are given the higher-paying jobs for which
she applies. After being harassed by some of her female coworkers,
Aurora files a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission and is wrongfully terminated from her job. The
backstabbing, lying, and underhanded tactics used by Executive
Director Gary Davis and his "band of idiots" are not just
unnerving, but are proof positive of the lows to which people will
stoop to make another's life miserable.
Aurora's immediate supervisor, Lou Ann Houser, is not a bright
woman, and her scheming ways just might come back to haunt her once
the case reaches the courtroom. Aurora's lawyer is determined to
prove to the court the real personalities of the people in
management. Will Aurora have the personal strength to stand up and
fight for her rights?
