Shirley Zinn’s story is one of determination, courage, and triumph over incredible adversity.
Born and raised on the Cape Flats, Shirley never allowed her past to dictate her future. She proved that the typical story of a girl from the Cape Flats – that of gangsterism, alcoholism and teenage pregnancy – didn’t have to be her story. Instead she relentlessly pursued her own goals and forged an impressive academic career even when she faced significant odds. And when she’d done that, she set out to conquer the world of business.
Shirley is a formidable woman with an amazing story to tell. She has risen to the top of the pile in both academic and business circles, and yet she has retained great humanity and empathy in the face of great personal tragedy.
Her story has lessons for us all – whether we are ordinary or extraordinary, whether we work in business, in government, or at home. Shirley’s story will inspire you and show you that it is possible to achieve your goals, if you are prepared to swim upstream and be single-minded in getting where you want to be.
One of the world’s leading experts on infidelity provides a step-by-step guide through the process of marital infidelity—from suspicion and revelation to healing, and provides profound, practical guidance to prevent cheating and, if it happens, recover and heal from it.
You’re right to be cautious when you hear these words: “I’m telling you, we’re just friends.”
Good people in good marriages are having affairs. The workplace and the Internet have become fertile breeding grounds for “friendships” that can slowly and insidiously turn into love affairs. Yet you can protect your relationship from emotional or sexual betrayal by recognizing the red flags that mark the stages of slipping into an improper, dangerous intimacy that can threaten your marriage.

"Which one of you bitches is my mother?"
Four elegant, successful, and sophisticated women in their forties
are called to New York's Pierre Hotel to meet Lili -- a beautiful,
young, and notoriously temperamental Hollywood movie star. None of
the women knows exactly why she is there; each has a reason to hate
Lili and each of them is astonished to see the others. They are old
friends who share a guilty secret and who have for years been doing
their best to keep that secret quiet. Their lives are changed
forever, however, when Lili suddenly confronts them. When the women
refuse to answer her, Lili proceeds to travel around the world
through the playgrounds of the rich and famous, seeking to answer
the question that has obsessed and almost destroyed her.
From Paris to London, from the boardroom to the bedroom, "Lace"
takes the reader into the rarified world of five unforgettable
women who are as beautiful, as complex and as strong as...lace.
