Empire
SHE ROSE TO THE TOP OF A MAN'S WORLD, WITH FIRE IN HER EYES AND STEEL IN HER HEART

Nan MacPherson Mead. Nothing could stop her from becoming the best reporter the world had ever seen....

Black Tuesday. Pearl harbor. Kennedy. She covered it all, living in a man's world and loving it . . . rising to build her own communications empire. She had wealth, power, and a beautiful family--everything but the one man for whom she would sacrifice it all.

Sweeping from 1920 to the present, from a small Midwestern town to Chicago, London, Paris and New York, here is a deeply personal story of love, power and commitment set against a background of passion, greed and betrayal. Nan MacPherson Mead emerges as a pioneer, entrepreneur, mother and matriarch, who touches the lives of all who know her.
