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.

Praise for The War on Sarah Morris:
Advancement to Round 3 in the Best Indie Book Awards
"We have all felt like the world is against us and everything that can go wrong will. This is the entire emotion of this book about Sarah Morris. She is blindsided by hit after hit of bad news from her job , to everything that she tries to do to better her and Steven’s lives. The office politics and practices in this story are sadly realistic in today’s business world.
Kathleen Jones is a wonderful author who puts real emotion into her plot and character development. She has made the main character naive and desperate, making me the reader really pull for something to go right for a change. Great book, easy to read, and definitely relatable." ~ Posted on Goodreads by Rhonda Pulk, July 5, 2025
"Imagine having a job you have worked so hard at and enjoyed. To be demoted and doing grunt work. That is what is happening to Sarah. Now she has to reconsider her place in this work field. This story is told by Sarah and all she has to withstand. Can she dig her way out or will she continue to be taken advantage of? What would you do in her position? This is an amazing fact finding story with a strong woman fighting her way through the work field. The author of this story went forward to put real life into her story. It's well written and a fantastic story to read. I found this story to be informative as well as making me look back at the jobs I have had. I look forward to reading more from this author." ~ Posted on Goodreads by Cindy, July 26, 2025
