About this listen
Climbing in Heels, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas's debut novel, is a fictional tale of the rise of three secretaries at the hottest agency in 1980's Hollywood, giving you a glimpse into the boys-will-be-boys club and the women who wanted a seat at a table where they were expected to serve.
It's the story of friendship, betrayal, survival, standing up when they pass you by, and saying I won't go when they want you gone. And it's also a story about how some of those women became very much like the monsters who trained them.
Meet Beanie Rosen, the fast-talking and even faster-thinking Valley girl who knows where she wants to go, and doesn’t care if she doesn’t look the part.
Mercedes Baxter, who learned early on how to leverage the monied friends of her monied friends' parents until she found a foothold in Hollywood.
And Ella Gaddy, a sexy free-spirit anti-debutante from a white-glove Kentucky home who shakes up any room she walks into.
Listen to Climbing in Heels and watch these women meet, meld, fight, strategize and climb their way into your heart.
A rollicking tale of sex, drugs, and power–in heels.

"CLIMBING IN HEELS is a wildly entertaining journey of three women who have to navigate the sex, drugs and boys' club mentality of 1980's Hollywood, written by someone who was there. Nobody understands and writes this world better than Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas. It's moving, insightful and shows us how far we've come—and how far we need to go. It's a book you won't put down with characters you won't forget. I loved it!"—Darren Star, creator of Sex and The City and Emily and Paris
