When Wall Street wealth stops feeling secure
Set against a Wall Street downturn, Hedge Fund Wives follows Marcy Emerson’s move from Chicago to New York after her husband takes a hedge-fund job. Her new social world comes with conspicuous spending, rigid expectations around status, and an assumption that wives should set aside their own careers. As financial certainty and her marriage unravel, Marcy is pushed to reassess the compromises behind her affluent lifestyle and to pursue an independence not defined by money or social rank. The novel uses its high-finance setting to examine marriage, friendship, class competition, and the costs of relying on appearances.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in contemporary fiction about wealth, social status, and marriage
- Fans of New York-set stories centered on elite social circles
- Readers seeking a protagonist rebuilding independence after betrayal

In this amazingly timely story about what the wealthy do when Wall Street lays an egg, the author of Gilding Lily once again delivers a witty and insightful treatment of today's woman, as she explores the sacrifices they make, the bargains they strike, the rules they follow, and what happens when it all starts to fall apart.
Who could have guessed that Wall Street would go south just as Marcy Emerson and her husband moved east? Down to earth Marcy relocated from Chicago to New York when her husband was offered a big time job as a hedge fund manager.
She gives up her own job--after all, hedge fund wives don't work! And while at first it's fun to shop all day and party all night, Marcy quickly learns that life among the rich can be anything but easy and that behind every smile can be a stab in the back.
Still, it's not until her husband leaves her for his thinner, blonder mistress--a woman who is higher up the social ladder than the original Mrs. Emerson will ever be--that Marcy decides to stand on her own two feet once again, and fight for the things that are far more important than money.
