Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - She helped build the company. At its anniversary, she is introduced as a guest.Caroline Mercer has spent years noticing what other people overlook: the missing clause, the broken schedule, the quiet operational failure waiting to become someone else's crisis. But at Northlight's eighteenth-anniversary celebration, the omission is her. The program names her husband, Graham, as the company's sole founder. Her badge says Guest. And when he introduces her as an old family friend who helped in the early days, Caroline understands that the life and work they built together are being rewritten in public.The erasure is not merely personal. Caroline still owns forty percent of Northlight's voting shares, holds records of the systems and client frameworks she created, and may have rights that matter to the acquisition Graham is preparing to celebrate. He wants the problem handled privately. She wants to know what has been said, what has been signed, and why everyone involved seems to expect her silence.As a long, unresolved separation collides with a high-stakes business transaction, Caroline must decide what recognition is worth-and what it cannot replace. Protecting her contribution means confronting the husband who controlled the company's story, the professionals who accepted his version, and her own habit of preserving institutions that no longer preserve her. Every choice carries a cost: to the marriage, the home, the employees whose livelihoods depend on Northlight, and the future she has not yet allowed herself to imagine.The Work in Her Own Name is an emotionally grounded women's fiction novel about a marriage in crisis, invisible labor, corporate betrayal, ownership, and starting over at midlife. Its tension grows through records, negotiations, money, family boundaries, and the difficult distinction between being privately acknowledged and being publicly, legally, and financially recognized.Character-driven and restrained, this contemporary domestic drama follows a capable woman learning that reclaiming her identity is not a single confrontation. It is a series of exact decisions about truth, access, value, and the work she will no longer perform without a name attached.For readers drawn to divorce fiction, women-in-business stories, midlife reinvention, and novels about rebuilding after betrayal, Caroline's journey asks a clear question: when shared history has been edited to exclude you, what will you require before you can begin again.…
