About this ebook
Calling the new girl, Lucy, odd ends up more than a tad bit of understatement. In a short period of time, she frees Amber of her inhibitions, her prestigious corporate project, her teeth, her sense of style...and her sanity. A bizarre tale of corporate cannibalism...or a generous sacrifice for a fellow human being? All depends on your perspective.
