Session Synopsis
When Emily Pereira’s debut memoir, The Quest, opens, Emily was living in a beach penthouse in LA. Her boyfriend’s start-up had just been acquired for 482 million. She was selling what Time Magazine hailed as the revolutionary new treatment for cancer. And she was headed for a breakdown.
She tells all in a salacious memoir that tries not to name names while giving the reader a backstage pass to what happens when a high-profile “it” girl goes under.
