From rags to riches...fro, the sting of poverty and a broken marriage to lovelorn columns written for a Midwestern newspaper to the instant wealth and overnight fame of a "how-to" bestseller...This is the story of Kate Johnson's quest.
The Conquest:
She went on to turn a washed-up women's magazine into the biggest thing in publishing...and to risk it all with a breakthrough male movie idol centerfold that gives American womanhood its #1 sex symbol.
The Woman:
Only Aviva Hellman, former director of publications of that national women's magazine could have written IN PLACE OF LOVE-the dazzling novel of a strong, talented, desirable woman who reaches for love and success...only to discover she can't hold on to both.
