ONE DETERMINED WOMAN. ONE UNPREDICTABLE LIFE. ONE BITTERSWEET REDEMPTION.

By 23, the razor-sharp Mary Jackson-Peale had become one of the United Kingdom's youngest, most influential media agents. Her ability to identify highly commercial theatrical plays became legend on London’s prestigious West End.

As her professional reputation grew, her appetite to live an obsessive, reckless, experimental lifestyle increased proportionally. Soon, she became a felon-on-the-run from Scotland Yard after the involuntary manslaughter of her sex-craved boss.

Mary fled to New York City under an assumed name and quickly became an insatiable power broker to the entertainment industry's rich and famous.

On a short vacation to Venice, she met and fell madly in love with Gianni Spagnoli, the only son of a prominent Tuscan family Unaware of her sordid past, they married and returned to America.

At 37, all was not well with Mary, physically or emotionally. Weak, tired and despondent, her world collapsed with a bang that could be heard around the world.
