The Diaries Of A Corporate Princess

The Diaries Of A Corporate Princess tells the tale of a woman who thinks she has it all.

After suddenly losing her job and spending time consuming quantities of Bombay Sapphire and Kleenex tissues, she visits her mother in Western Australia, thinking nothing could get worse. Unfortunately, that proved to be a false assumption and she finds that she is to be homeless in less than three weeks. The reader follows her adventures as she returns to Sydney, re-establishing her old life and seeking another job. After experiencing an "on the road to Damascus" moment, she decides to establish her own business from home.
