AMERICAN ICON

Kate Haywood has imagination, creativity, and the drive to make it all happen, especially when teamed with her husband, Peter, and daughter, Samantha. As Kate becomes "An American Icon," her life is fraught with emotional ups and downs that echo the energy of her Martha Stewart-like career. Kate Harper's involvement in the narration drives the story through its incredible twists and turns. Harper becomes Kate Haywood in her reach for the top. A loud background hiss threatens to overwhelm Harper's voice, especially when her voice dips. Nevertheless, listeners will wonder where the time went as they learn about Kate's triumphs over all that threatens to thwart her career.
