Melanie Kohl is like a hamster on a treadmill, running in place and getting nowhere, starting with her mind-numbing commute to work, her job as employee relations manager/Ms. Fix-It at a comically out-of-control medical center in New York City, and ending each day when she crawls into her basement apartment, bemoaning her sexless, uneventful private life, rocked by disturbing dreams of mayhem and murder. As she heads inexorably towards a breakdown, hastened by the murder of her much hated boss and the appointment of an even more sinister and stupid replacement, she finally flies off the wheel and catapults into the arms of a handsome stranger. Will love conquer all? Well . . . Janet Garber utilizes her keen sense of the Hr world to create a funny glimpse into what might happen in a company run amok. Her writing style is a joy.

Five Star Review on Amazon By Fausta McDermott
Fabulous! Gossip, illicit romance, mental instability, life-threatening illness, betrayal and, yes, even murder, happen here! Meli works in HR at a large NY City company. It is like a small town where rumors spread like wildfire. Our heroine is both likeable and flawed. We want her to be happy, but she seems trapped by an embarrassing secret. Colorful rural, weekend adventures with a rugged mountain man add zest to her life, but will she move out of the big city to be with him full-time? Read Dream Job and find out.
