Ten Girls to Watch (2012)
Dawn hasn't made much progress during her first year out of college. She has broken up with her boyfriend, pretzel heir Robert, and makes her money writing lawn care advice. Then Dawn gets an opportunity to research the past winners from Charm magazine's annual Ten Girls to Watch contest for its 50th anniversary. She spends her days scanning through archives in a warehouse, well away from the magazine's gleaming offices, but as she interviews the women, including her own college thesis advisor, Dawn finds she has much to learn from their words of wisdom and life lessons. This is an inspiring, well-written story from one author to watch.
