Roast Beef, Medium

Edna Ferber

Join Emma McChesney, a clever and determined divorced mother, as she embarks on her journey across the Midwest as a sales representative for a prominent skirt and petticoat manufacturer. Her escapades—filled with humorous encounters with predatory salesmen and quirky hotel clerks—are both hilarious and heartfelt. Emma excels in her field, often outshining even the most polished male competitors, all while balancing her dedication to her work and her seventeen-year-old son, Jock. Through her experiences, she learns the importance of sticking to what she knows best roast beef, medium, rather than risking a stomach ache with fancy sauces and exotic dishes. This is the first of three volumes chronicling the captivating career and adventures of Emma McChesney. (Introduction by Phil Chenevert) This show includes AI-generated content.
