Escape from the Baggage Group Laura Conrad

Teresa Caden thought she could take it easy... Leaving her high-stress job to sell advertising for her hometown magazine, she expected free evenings and weekends to get back to the textile arts she'd abandoned so many years before and to revive her flagging relationship with corporate big-shot Jude. Teresa's dream of serenity is shattered when she comes up against the dysfunctional Baggage Group clan, headed by eccentric matriarch Mrs. Baggage-Miller-Brown-Hoffman-Kiester, a living legend with unassailable social power, questionable ethics and manipulative tendencies, and her right-hand man, bipolar halitosis-king Lanny Byrd. It's not long before Teresa realizes that the time has come for her to escape from The Baggage Group. The story of Teresa's journey through office politics will delight readers with its cast of larger-than-life characters and the uplifting narrative of underdog success at its heart.
