- The partner track : a novel / by Wan, Helen.(CARDINAL)404724;
"A young attorney must choose between the prestige of partnership and the American Dream that she--and her immigrant parents--have come so close to achieving in this riveting debut. In the eyes of her corporate law firm, Ingrid Yung is a "two-fer." As a Chinese-American woman about to be ushered into the elite rank of partner, she's the face of Parsons Valentine & Hunt LLP's recruiting brochures--their treasured "Golden Girl." But behind the firm's welcoming facade lies the scotch-sipping, cigar-smoking old-boy network that shuts out lawyers like Ingrid. To compensate, Ingrid gamely plays in the softball league, schmoozes in the corporate cafeteria, and puts in the billable hours--until a horrifically offensive performance at the law firm's annual summer outing throws the carefully constructed image way out of equilibrium. Scrambling to do damage control, Parsons Valentine announces a new "Diversity Initiative" and commands a reluctant Ingrid to spearhead the effort, taking her priority away from the enormous deal that was to be the final step in securing partnership. For the first time, Ingrid finds herself at odds with her colleagues--including her handsome, golden-boy boyfriend--in a clash of class, race, and sexual politics"--- Subjects: Fiction.; Legal fiction (Literature); Chinese American women; Discrimination in employment; Diversity in the workplace; Office politics; Women lawyers;

- Token / by Kendall, Beverley,author.(CARDINAL)589464;
"Two years ago, Kennedy Mitchell was plucked from the reception desk and placed in the corporate boardroom in the name of diversity. Rather than play along, she and her best friend founded Token, a boutique PR agency that helps "diversity-challenged" companies and celebrities. With corporate America diversifying workplaces and famous people getting into reputation-damaging controversies, Token is in high demand. Kennedy quickly discovers there's a lot of on-the-job learning and some messes are not so easily fixed. When Kennedy's ex shows up needing help repairing his company's reputation, things get even more complicated. She knows his character is being wrongly maligned, but she's reluctant to get involved--professionally and emotionally. But soon, she finds herself drawn into a PR scandal of her own."--- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Novels.; Fiction.; African American women; Cultural pluralism; Man-woman relationships; Public relations consultants; Diversity in the workplace; Interracial dating;

Read by Jeanette Illidge.Kennedy Mitchell is brilliant, beautiful and tired of being the only Black woman in the room. Two years ago, Kennedy was plucked from the reception desk and placed in the corporate boardroom in the name of diversity. Rather than play along, she and her best friend founded Token, a boutique PR agency that helps "diversity-challenged" companies and celebrities. With corporate America diversifying workplaces and famous people getting into reputation-damaging controversies, Token is in high demand. With business booming, Kennedy soon discovers there's a lot of on-the-job learning. Some messes are not so easily fixed, like the pro hockey player overheard using a racial slur who needs his image rehabbed, and an executive team that requires diversifying and sensitivity training asap. When Kennedy's ex shows up needing help repairing his company's reputation, things get even more complicated. She knows his character is being wrongly maligned, but she's reluctant to get involved. Soon, she finds herself drawn into a PR scandal of her own.- Subjects: Romance fiction.; Audiobooks.; African American women; Cultural pluralism; Man-woman relationships;

- What harms you / by Black, Lisa,1963-author.;
The Locard Institute is a state-of-the-art forensic research center where experts from around the world come together to confront and solve the world's most challenging and perplexing crimes. When Dr. Ellie Carr arrives for her first day as an instructor at the prestigious facility, the buildings glimmer amid the brilliant fall foliage on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. But within hours a colleague, Dr. Barbara Wright, is found dead on the floor of a supply closet. Her death appears to be an accident--but Ellie and her new supervisor, Dr. Rachael Davies, suspect a more sinister explanation. A young woman attending a professional training program then disappears, only to be found in a gruesome tableau. Other than their link to the Institute, there seems to be no connection between the student and Dr. Wright. Although forensic traces are elusive, Ellie and Rachael are determined to find the bizarre link between the violent and diverse deaths. As reporters shatter the privacy of Ellie's new workplace, she searches old files and finds evidence of a crime that feels much too personal. But who, among those dedicated to justice, could be the threat? No matter how skilled she and Rachael may be in uncovering the truth, they may not be able to prevent a well-schooled killer from striking again.- Subjects: Psychological fiction.; Thrillers (Fiction); Novels.; Fiction.; Women forensic scientists; Forensic sciences; Serial murders; Serial murder investigation; Women; Women.; Womyn.;
