Marianne Paley Betrayed!

Annotation

Betrayed - having reached the pinnacle of business success, the final twist was delivered in a crushing finale of humiliation and loss, brought about through the treachery of the very friends who had become their business partners. A true story encompassing three continents. Born out of a love story between two very different people who came together in adjacent sleepy English mill villages and shared an ambition of starting their own business. From its early beginnings in the UK, to establishing contacts and a plan for a new start-up business whilst living in post-apartheid South Africa, this venture moved to America in the pursuit and eventual fulfilment of the dream of building a successful company and bestselling brand. This unlikely pairing set out on a tempestuous journey against adversity and nay-sayers to eventual triumph, followed by heart wrenching betrayal.
