It's fiction, but mirrors some aspects of her own career...
ALL the young female Willises married, settled down, raised families and wrote lots of newsy letters. Catherine didn't. She was a maverick. She wanted fun, excitement, a career, travel. She got them all, and a lot more, when she went from New Zealand to New York and started work in commercial T.V.
No one could put a finger on any of Timperly's activities and say it was crooked. But in his search for T.V. sponsors he worked on the assumption that there is a fool born every minute, that they frequently have lots of money, and a desire for personal publicity, and that the money was better in his bank than in theirs.
Despite warnings Catherine got involved in this maze of chicanery, and a United Nations love affair at the same time. This book is essentially light-hearted—and amusing. The characters are as diverse as the American scene.
