Product Description
by Margot Martin (Author)
The novel Human Resources by Margot Martin, released in early December 2020 in time for holiday gift giving, is set in the worlds of TV broadcasting and pro baseball in the 80's and early 90's in NYC and LA. As a 30 year leadership executive in broadcast, Margot Martin knows her world.
In the vein of The Firm which exposed how legal firms operate and Wolf of Wall Street that exposed the vagaries of the big brokerages, the majority of this carefully crafted novel delves into the reality of life inside a major market TV station in LA during 1994.
As the book jacket so aptly depicts, the story is about a manipulative and controlling boss who has zero boundaries in his quest for dominance of all in his domain.
At the center of this blistering indictment of power gone awry is a spinning out of control love triangle between an black LA Dodger All Star center fielder, a stunning white female reporter who is his fianc e and the handsome late news anchor who falls madly in love with her and risks everything to have her. As their relationship becomes public the fury of the general manager knows no bounds. Lives are lost. Lives are ruined. And nothing will ever be the same again.
This novel is not only a wild and very emotional rollercoaster of a ride but a character study of the abuse of power and ivory tower racism and sexism that still exists today. Very relevant to all going on in our world today.
