The Writing On The Wall by Marilyn Howard 

Plot Summary
The Writing on the Wall, a
narrative non-fiction from Marilyn Howard,
chronicles the life of a
trailblazing entrepreneur and working mom. Her
determination to change the norms of the
50s and forge a new path led
to a roller-coaster ride of adventures – and some
misadventures. There were a lot of decisions and sacrifice, but
also many fun times.
After
breaking through a glass ceiling at a New York advertising agency and
traveling for a year in Aspen, Mexico and Hawaii, she returned to
New
York City, where she
founded an innovative startup company.
Creative Freelancers Inc. was the first agency to
connect business with
artists and writers. Her idea thrived for over twenty-five years in
Manhattan and became the first agency on the web in 1997.
Marrying an
older,
extroverted
man and five children were daring additions to her busy
life.
In 1983 Marilyn was picked by ADWEEK Magazine of New York as one of the
top twelve
women in advertising most likely to succeed. However,
despite playing by the rules, Creative
Freelancers was targeted by New
York State. It was the card they could knock over for more
taxes,
before going after the big guys on a gray area of the tax code...
Looking back, she sees her life as an amazing journey that could
motivate and entertain
other women.
