520    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.
