Rick Casper is about to sign for his dream job as CFO. As the last step in the hiring process he is invited by the CEO for dinner with his wife. Because his wife Erna, in the past, has caused havoc during formal dinners, Rick convinces his outplacement coach, and friend, Kirsten to join him at that important dinner as his wife.
This is the start of a series of unexpected and quirky developments. An Open Shift is Arnaud Pascolo’s debut novel. It is inspired by true events in his life. Rick Casper – in the midst of a midlife crisis – is aspiring to become CFO at CardsInc. His boss makes him work hard but doesn’t give the credit. Erna, his wife for 20 years, isn’t the same woman she used to be. She has gotten cold and distant. Is it because of their failing professional aspirations? Or is it because they no longer love each other?
Rick and Erna are like a card lost in the middle of a deck and both feel the urge to rise to the surface. In An Open Shift they each find their own way of making that happen.
It is a fun story about true friendship and dreams. It’s about excelling in profession, friendship for life, and winning back lost relationships. It’s about never giving up on things important to us.
An Open Shift will keep you amused and surprised till the very end!
