Tricia Stewart Shiu
Acerca de esta escucha
Underdog Hollywood executive assistant battles big budget boss and receives miraculous aid from an unlikely source--a shrine to Mary Tyler Moore.
Thirty-five-time award-winning author Tricia Stewart Shiu's new adult novel, Please Hold, winner of Outstanding Novella at the IAN Book Awards, Best Unpublished Manuscript at the Southern California Book Festival, and Best First Chapter at the WildSound Festival, offers an insider's look at the world of high-level studio executive assistants and one woman's struggle to make sense of it all. Has she come a long way, baby? Only Mary knows.
Not only does Please Hold offer a rare glimpse into the world of top-tier gatekeepers, it also serves as a reminder that spirituality comes in many forms, and no one should judge another before knowing the full story. Everyone's journey to her own truth is layered, and we all choose our path based on the highest form of guidance available. As we grow, so does our guidance.
In this quirky slice-of-life story, Tricia Stewart Shiu draws from her extensive experience as a veteran high-level executive assistant at one of the top six entertainment studios in Los Angeles.

It all started with a mysterious blue note sewn into a wedding dress. Something blue. I’d gone to sell my own unworn bridal gown at a vintage clothing store. That’s when I found another bride’s “something old". Stitched into the lining of a fabulously feathered design was the loveliest message I’d ever read: Thank you for making all of my dreams come true.

When I arrive unannounced at my husband's studio in need of a shoulder to cry on after hearing that my best student, Alex, has died, I see a pair of wineglasses drying by the sink, and my deepest fear is confirmed: my husband is having an affair. Most women would fall to their knees in tears and throw him out of the house - but I just can't bring myself to do it. Instead, I go home and cook a healthy dinner for our children, walk the dog, and unload the dishwasher without complaint. I need this marriage to work to protect a terrible secret of my own....

After barely surviving a brutal attack, Brienne Dougray rarely leaves her house. Suffering from debilitating headaches and memory loss, she can rely only on her compassionate new tenant, Dr. Niall Emberlin, a welcome distraction from the discomfiting bubble that has become her existence. But Brienne’s growing confidence in her new routine is shaken when she stumbles across unsettling evidence that someone else is living as...her. Same name. Same car. Same hair. Same clothes. She’s even friended her family on social media.

Millie, 30, just can't pull it together. Misanthropic and morose, she spends her days killing time at a thankless temp job until she can return home to her empty apartment, where she oscillates between self-recrimination and mild delusion, fixating on all the little ways she might change her life. Then she watches TV until she drops off to sleep, and the cycle begins again. When the possibility of a full-time job offer arises, it seems to bring the better life she's envisioning within reach. But with it also comes the paralyzing realization of just how hollow that vision has become.
