In The Hands of the Gods

"How
I wish my father could have seen the day when the daughter he raised by himself
was asked to become a steward of that government!"


That was what Drusilla Rearchek proclaimed
on the day the President of the United States introduced her as his official nominee to become the Secretary
of Treasury. However, if Drusilla had
been privy to all the backroom double-dealing and political intrigue that lay
before her, she might well have said otherwise before accepting the President's
appointment.




As the founder Sharanski Enterprises, Drusilla
Rearchek has outdone herself. Thirty
years earlier she set her sights on conquering "the City of the Big Shoulders" when
she established her company. She is now the
richest woman in America! The legendary
fortune Drusilla created all on her own has made her name the household definition
for the word "success" in America. So much so
that, when the President of the United States extends an invitation for her to join his cabinet,
Drusilla eagerly accepts. Only the
President hasn't counted on Drusilla being a woman of passionate convictions.and
her loyalty to those convictions instantly runs counter to the prevailing governing
sentiments of the Washington beltway establishment. Once she is cast into this bureaucratic world,
Drusilla is immediately overwhelmed by the overall level of incompetence, corruption,
and dishonesty. The trials Drusilla must
endure during her tenure as Secretary of the Treasury will put those
convictions to the test. In the process,
Drusilla will ultimately learn just how much one must sacrifice in
order to be a successful government servant.





But will she be able to make that
sacrifice?
