Description
Funny, revealing, and occasionally heartbreaking, Morton spares nothing—including his own ego—in Fire the Pretty Girl, as he guides readers through the vicissitudes and moral quandaries of business life.
Advance Praise
“Five Stars (out of Five) . . . With dry wit and self- effacing honesty, Fire The Pretty Girl follows the author’s clumsy, fake-it-till-you-make-it journey from the hospitality industry to business school, and then to eventual success as a speechwriter for, and trusted confidant to, the movers and shakers in the corporate world . . . Morton never lets readers forget how very accidental his success felt to him along the way. His humility is endearing and often quite funny. In an era of brash memoirs and self-help tomes touting confidence above all, this volume offers a refreshing kind of narrative . . . Morton’s prose is skillfully executed, concise, and sharp. The writing is so entertaining that even those who aren’t drawn to reading about the business world will be engaged throughout . . . entirely unique and engrossing. Young professionals in particular, beginning blundering journeys along their unmapped career paths, will devour it.” – Foreword Clarion Reviews
“Insightful . . . funny . . . courageously true.” – Kirkus Indie Reviews
