On the Brink
Michael A. Sisti
(Author)
Description
This gripping, coming-of-age story takes you from a schoolyard in Manhattan to the untamed wilderness of the Adirondack Mountains, and then back to the alcohol-fueled halls of the New York Advertising world.
Barely surviving the horrific events that have left him alone in the world, Dave Powers returns to New York and uses his design skills to land a position at one of the city's hottest advertising agencies. It's the Mad Men era in the creativity-focused ad business where the male-dominated bureaucrats control the action with all their nepotistic, womanizing antics.
When Dave falls in love with his boss, a tenuous outlier who is one of the few female C-Suite creatives in the entire industry, it's a recipe for disaster.
Will the tragedies of his early life crush his hopes and ambitions? Or can this still immature young man rise above the fray and summon the fortitude to succeed?
Based on true events, the angst and heartache of this intense novel, punctuated by the humor-driven dialog will take your emotions on a lightning-fast rollercoaster ride.

About the Author
Reviews
"A must-read for fans of Grisham, Archer, and Sheldon"
"The work is more than one of literature; it is an in-the-weeds look at keeping one's sanity in a world where alcoholism, exploitation of women and the 'one mistake and you are gone' culture are a reality. The book is a work of triumph over human adversity and is not for the literary faint-hearted." -Steve Levi, Alaskan historian and writer, author of 80 books
"On the Brink pulls you in quickly with surprising twists and turns. The writing, especially the dialog, is exceptional. I highly recommend indulging in this fantastic story, written by an author who is a master of his craft." -Lizzy Wright, Author
"A fast-paced, gripping, coming-of-age journey of grit and determination of a budding entrepreneur filled with hustle, tragedy, love, and excess. This is a book you cannot put down." -Dianne C. Braley, Author of The Silence in the Sound, Winner NYC Book Award 2022
"This is a triumph of style and content with short chapters and crisp dialog, light humor and heavy drama, futile revenge and fulfilling love. And you won't catch your breath until it's over." -Sean Douglas, Entrepreneur
