Kathleen Jones writes a true to life tale with The War on Sarah Morris 

In The War on Sarah Morris, the reader is introduced to Sarah Morris, the titular character. She’s an editor that has been working for years at this prominent publishing company, and then, it strikes. I am a fan of Kathleen Jones and want read whatever this author writes. This author has a grand imagination, and talent for showing the story. One minute you’re a devoted employee, and the next minute, you’re reassigned, essentially demoted. Anyone who has ever been in this position, can understand what Sarah is going through, and how sometimes you just give up and give in because you need the paycheck. It’s either demotion or head out the door, willingly or not. Sarah discovers what is actually happening, and how a freelancer is doing her job, and now, all she is doing is tagging books. Of course, the company is cutting back, but as many do, they do not look at the loyal employees, they look at their salary and where they cut costs. They look for people who will not fight back, however, Sarah, though she seems like the world is against her, pushing her into a corner she doesn’t like, they are not prepared for Sarah’s strength and gumption. Sarah is a very relatable character, and her new nemesis, is just a typical person, also wanting to get recognition and the paycheck. The new favorite employee is only there until the next favorite employee.  Kathleen Jones not only tells the story but shows it with words as well. It’s a great story to follow and try to figure out what will happen next. The characters are so real, it’s like being with them within the story. The War on Sarah Morris is a definite recommendation by Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews. I read this book to give my unbiased and honest review. Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who reads this book also write a review.

About the Book:

ONE DAY, YOU’RE A VALUED EMPLOYEE OF THE COMPANY … THE NEXT DAY, YOU’RE BEING PUSHED OUT THE DOOR.

What happens when your secure corporate job suddenly becomes precarious? Book editor Sarah Morris finds herself in this predicament when the company she has served for twenty-one years is reorganized. Sarah’s boss gives all the company’s book editing projects to freelancers and a pet employee, unofficially demoting Sarah, who must spend her days tagging documents. And when Sarah’s boss starts bullying her, she realizes that she’s been pigeonholed into a dead-end job.
