The Many Private Lives of Missy Cooke: A Novel

From New York Times bestselling author Jane Green comes her most poignant and timely novel yet—the story of a tech titan’s daughter, who, in the face of family crisis, must step into her own power to redefine a legacy

"[O]bservant, smart, and timely… Missy Cooke is a wonderful and clever character, and the plot is as addicting as a bag of M&Ms. I loved it." —Annie Hartnett, bestselling author of The Road to Tender Hearts

Missy Cooke’s parents divorced when she was young. While her mother did her best to make ends meet, she hardly knew her father, Silicon Valley tech titan Marty Cooke. He devoted his life to work—and his new family. Now an adult with tech world aspirations of her own, Missy finds herself thrust into a world of high-stakes board meetings and cutthroat corporate policies when Marty must step down from his tech empire, iprry, and chooses Missy to take his place.

As interim CEO, Missy must navigate the immense pressure of her father's legacy while navigating a strained relationship with her boyfriend, the reappearance of a childhood crush, and the constant scrutiny of a world that sees her as nothing more than a privileged heiress, an image totally at odds with her modest upbringing. To make matters worse, she uncovers a dark secret that threatens to destroy everything her father built. Can she forge her own path in the face of this dark discovery and prove her worth, or will she crumble under the weight of her father’s shadow?

Propulsive, timely, and emotionally resonant, The Many Private Lives of Missy Cooke is an unforgettable family novel by a beloved author at the height of her literary power.
