After 12 years on Wall Street, Maureen Sherry --- formerly, the youngest Managing Director at Bear Stearns and a Cornell graduate --- switched gears to earn her Masters of Fine Arts at Columbia University, to write, and to tutor at inner city schools. WALLS WITHIN WALLS --- her first book, a mystery for middle school audiences --- has been awarded curriculum prizes by the states of Texas and Connecticut, and she was named one of the Best New Voices by the American Library Association. Maureen is also an active board member of numerous charities. But Maureen believes her biggest project is raising her four children with her husband which never feels like a job at all.

Opening Belle

by Maureen Sherry - Fiction

In 2008, Isabelle appears to have it all: an Upper West Side apartment, three healthy children, a handsome husband and a high-powered job. But her reality is something else. Her work environment resembles a 1980s frat party, her husband feels that employment is beneath him, and the bulk of childcare and homecare still falls to Belle. As she deals with her former college fiancé, Henry, becoming her biggest client and a group of sexually harrassed women beginning to organize, Belle can sense the financial markets heading toward their soon-to-be historic crash and that something has to give.
