"In this beautifully written novel of historical fiction, bestselling author Susan Holloway Scott tells the story of Alexander Hamilton's wife, Eliza--a fascinating strong-willed heroine in her own right and a key figure in one of the most gripping periods in American history."-- Daughter of a respected general, Elizabeth Schuyler was captivated by Alexander Hamilton, a charismatic, ambitious aide to George Washington. They marry and despite the tumult of the American Revolution, Eliza is confident in her brilliant husband and in her role as his helpmate. Publicly Eliza becomes an adored member of society, respected for her fierce devotion to Hamilton as well as her grace. Behind closed doors, she manages their household and assists her husband with his political writings. Through public scandal, betrayal, personal heartbreak, and tragedy, she is tested again and again.

Revealing how to master the principles and practice of courageous, transformative dialogue, Scott shows readers how to change their lives, one conversation at a time.

From the author of the acclaimed Fierce Conversations comes a critical examination of widely accepted business practices that are actually detrimental. Phrases like "provide anonymous feedback," "hire smart people," and "hold people accountable" may seem sound, but leadership expert Susan Scott argues they are fundamentally flawed. These ingrained mantras are costing companies billions, driving away talent and customers, and stalling careers, yet no one has questioned them—until now. In this insightful work, Scott introduces the concept of "squid eye," a technique for identifying the signs of harmful behaviors within organizations. By recognizing these detrimental practices, leaders can implement effective alternatives. Drawing on over a decade of discussions with Fortune 500 executives, Scott presents innovative strategies for addressing issues in employee feedback, corporate diversity, and customer relations. This candid book is essential for managers and leaders at all levels who are willing to confront potential problems in their organizations and take meaningful action to improve them.
