PROFILES IN COURAGE, The Rest of the Story is the second collection of short stories from Eli Granger. As in STORIES OF LOVE, SEX AND MARRIAGE nothing is held back. This time the subject is successful women: how they see themselves and how they are viewed by others. A woman who killed her abusive husband explains how she was found not guilty of murder. The Chief Executive Officer of a Fortune 500 company describes the personal and societal challenges she faced. A real-estate tycoon reveals how she went from rags to riches. A woman decides to practice law after witnessing societal injustice. Of course, no real-life story is ever as simple as that. Facts from the abused woman's life cause the reader to question whether she should have ever been released. A coworker offers other reasons for her success. Former lovers reveal what the real-estate tycoon would never tell her admirers. The lawyer admits she has abandoned her civil rights fight, but are her reasons justified? Readers' opinions will vary over who is worthy of adoration.
