The Daughter-in-law Society by Patricia Bachkoff Weber

I have authored, co-authored, edited, or ghostwritten nearly 50 books. My articles on the art of ghostwriting have been published in the bible of the publishing industry, Publishers Weekly.

In and around the greater New York City area (the Mecca of American publishing) I have held the position of Head Writer, General Manager, Development Consultant, and Senior Writer at various publishing concerns, overseeing and editing books by other writers and acting as mentor and teacher to talents young and old. In the literary world, I have worked invisibly behind the scenes for years, ghostwriting numerous books in a wide variety of genres. 'The Fourth House' had previously been named a finalist for the prestigious James Jones Award, annually given to the best first novel by an American author. Society is based on the very real and wildly popular website, debut novel, the family drama, 'The Fourth House,' was a Featured Selection of the Book of the Month Club©, the Doubleday Book Club©, and the Literary Guild©, divisions of Random House/Doubleday Entertainment, where it sold out its first two printings. Soon Kat, Julia, and Ashley are introduced to Gabriella, a hot-shot entertainment lawyer, and Stella, whose expertise and methods are too bold and unusual to even mention.Ĭan these ladies have it all? Turns out they can, but there is definitely a price to pay. Still, the secretive group hasn’t gained its infamy by not producing results. Together, they try every suggestion their new “sisters” offer, but to no, and sometimes hilarious avail. There Kat befriends two other Society newbs: cute and lithe Julia, a bestselling fantasy book author, and bitchy, buxom ice queen Ashley. This popular global web community is run by the sophisticated and sexy Claudia, wife of a famed Hollywood producer, and doyenne of this mysterious group. Desperate, the Internet leads her to a website where women like Kat are trying to survive hubby mama dramaーa sisterhood of sorts where everybody knows your shame, but not your name.

It’s affecting her work and making her reconsider her marriage.

But why all the secrecy?īeautiful, feisty, top-level executive Katherine (Kat) Embers is losing it big time, undermined at every turn by her insidiously insulting “MIL” (mother-in-law). It wasn’t a cult ? or was it? The Society is an exclusive, underground club to help women cope with their mother-in-law problems.
