Eight Septembers - A Woman on Wall Street From 9/11 to Lehman

Jane Buyers

Eight Septembers: a Woman on Wall Street From 9/11 to Lehman is a gripping memoir that captures the tumultuous landscape of Wall Street through the eyes of a woman who lived and breathed its intensity during some of its most challenging years.

Set amidst the turbulent days of Wall Street in the 2000's, a young mother pursues her banking career at J.P. Morgan while managing personal and professional obstacles. Her story begins on the morning of 9/11 when she and her colleagues in downtown Manhattan survive the terrorist attacks and continue working to help stabilize the financial system-a matter of national security.

Through years of escalating banking crises and family responsibilities, her senior executive role catapults her into the center of the 2008 financial meltdown where she is forced to face the contradictions in her life and her own personal meltdown.

With unflinching honesty, vulnerability, and self-reflection, Buyers tells a story of struggle, resilience, and growth that will resonate with readers from any generation.
