Personality Plus by Edna Ferber ~ Full Audiobook [drama]

Personality Plus by Edna Ferber audiobook.

Genre: drama

Set in bustling early 1900s New York, Personality Plus follows Emma McChesney, a stylish, sharp-witted divorced mother who has fought her way up from life on the road to a coveted seat in the office as partner in the T. A. Buck Featherloom Petticoat Company. With a real home at last and a new level of responsibility, Emma expects challenges - but not necessarily from the person she loves most. Her son, Jock, is twenty-one and determined to conquer the advertising world on his own terms, armed with confidence, charm, and a hunger to prove that modern hustle beats old-school know-how. As Jock dazzles coworkers and courts big accounts, his gift for selling can slide into showmanship, bending rules and bruising egos. When business pressures mount and a high-stakes campaign pulls mother and son into the same orbit, Emma must defend the value of experience, ethics, and steady judgment - even as she confronts her own doubts about what success should look like. With brisk dialogue, humor, and social insight, Ferber delivers a lively clash of ambition and integrity, and a portrait of a woman refusing to be sidelined in either boardroom or family.
