THE 7 GREATEST TRUTHS ABOUT HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL WOMEN: How You Can Achieve Financial Independence, Professional Freedom and Personal Joy

Marion Luna Brem, . . Putnam, $22.95 (224pp) ISBN 978-0-399-14743-2

In 1984, Brem—diagnosed with two types of cancer—kept knocking at the doors of car dealerships until someone hired her. Today, as president and CEO of Love Chrysler, she is one of the most successful Latinas in business in the U.S. She explains the principles that sustained her even at her lowest (e.g., know your self-worth; be creative; be passionate about your work), offering numerous anecdotes about women who succeeded against tremendous odds. Readers will empathize with Brem, who speaks frankly and sensitively. This eminently inspiring book, reminiscent of Deborah Rosado Shaw's Dream Big, will find a wide audience. (Sept.)
