It is with immense pride that we, The Publishers, introduce The Girlfriend's Boyfriend, by Nona Carlson. It has been a long time since one woman's climb to position and the exorbitant price she paid for success have been portrayed so honestly, so fearlessly, and with such deep penetrating wisdom. This is not the first time that the theme of ambition has been used as the basis of a novel. There have been many books based on this topic in the past. Yet, we feel that the pages presented herein portray a unique situation: here, a woman is shown denying morality for the sake of success, and we witness her downfall in painful detail as though we, ourselves, had encountered her in real life. With unflagging truthfulness and frankness, The Girlfriend's Boyfriend outlines the sacrifices of personal relationships that Ruby Garvin must make in order to gain a privileged position at the publishing company where she is employed.
