This is a story about an Atlanta dowager, Harriet Reddy, who decides to take personal control of her assets because other investors around her are doing so well in the financial markets while her funds are doing so poorly at a local brokerage. She hires-away a young financial analyst from her old-line commercial brokerage, a man named Charles Ridenour. Hattie's personal secretary, Julie Krause, Charles Ridenour, and Harriet Reddy form a financial team that blossoms and rises to fame and fortune in the Atlanta area. Overnight success brings its own set of problems and eventually the Reddy family must turn to Charley Ridenour to solve these problems. As time goes by they discover that there is a whole lot more substance to Charley than anyone ever dreamed of.
