Book Nook - My American Dream

The story of a refugee girl from Nazi Germany turned trailblazing New York advertising executive who shatters glass ceilings. Featuring three intertwining narratives, My American Dream is a memoir of resilience, grit, and grace. Feigin tells of her life as a young German-speaking refugee living in a small Washington town and yearning to become an "authentic" American. She details how she became a trailblazing executive in the advertising business in New York City-a completely male-dominated business in the 1960s-rising from the ranks and ultimately securing a seat in the executive boardroom. A devoted wife and mom of three sons (including one set of twins), she spent twenty-five years as a caregiver for her husband, who suffered two serious strokes, and remained fiercely committed to building strong family bonds during turbulent times.
