Socialite Grigsby Somerset is barely aware of her changing world, and has no idea her investment banker husband Blake is about to enter into a devil’s bargain with hedge fund owner John Cutter. As autumn unfolds, Grigsby’s fairytale life starts to unwind. Street-smart Renee Parker has been hired as John’s executive assistant and is convinced that something is amiss with her new boss. Penned by the perfect financial and social insider, THE RECESSIONSTAS is a tale of expulsion from a modern-day Garden of Eden that captures what happens when the economic decline spells ruin for Manhattans pampered elite.” [EXCERPT]

“I’m not here to tell you how to get the perfect Margiela wardrobe or the perfect man or the perfect job in fashion. I’ve had all these things, and trust me, there’s a bigger prize to be had. I beleive the world will change only when we change ourselves. And that starts with finding ourselves.

Actually, I hope it’s a full-on expedition.” – Kelly Cutrone on her new book
