"Lilian Quick has looked up to her cousin Florence her whole life. Florence is everything Lilian is not - brave, confident, quick to find adventure...and American. The women have been out of touch for years due to a family rift, but Lilian, childless, single, and self-employed as a pet portrait artist, has been watching Florence from afar. Florence is now Internet-famous as Eleven Novak, the face of a compelling new feminine lifestyle empowerment brand. When Eleven, after a twenty-year silence, offers Lilian a place at her Manhattan office, it comes with a promise. She will help her cousin rise up to her highest self - confident, affluent, and self-actualized - if Lilian enrols in the brand's signature program, the Ascendency. In just months, Lilian's life changes drastically: an apartment in New York, a spiritual awakening, a growing bank account, and a shocking amount of influence. It is all a dream come true. But is this Lilian's dream? What does Eleven want from her? Who is Eleven, really, after all these years? And who does Lilian Quick truly want to be?"-- Page [4] of cover.
