Heels of Steel

By: Barbara Kavovit

Narrated by: Lisa Flanagan

She’s shattering the glass ceiling one building at a time

Bridget Steele’s father taught her two things: how to build and how to fight. With those skills, she created her own company and began building for New York City’s elite. Often the only woman in the room, she’s faced sexism, corruption and harassment, but armed with her designer hard hat and steel-toed stilettos, she’s up for any challenge. Bridget figured out quickly she had to be ten times better just to be considered equal.

Even with a stellar reputation, this scrappy young woman from the Bronx can’t seem to gain access to the old boys’ club. She doesn’t fit in with the powerful men in commercial real estate and construction. But this single mom has learned how to play the game, and she never gives up. With her quick wit and determination, she won’t let anyone get in the way of her dream—including the irresistible man who is also her biggest competitor. She’s learned the hard way that if she wants the view from the top, she’ll have to build it herself.

Great Listen

I really enjoyed this story and how it spanned her lifetime. I wish we could have had a bit more of them after they were together and seen the relationship with the kids more but overall it;s a great story. with good narration.

Good book

I enjoyed this story,and the characters were great as well . I think it’s worth a read, or listen.

Narrator, Lisa Flanagan, narrating made story even more intriguing!

I got a kick out of Lisa's voice for each character... It really helps when you're listening to a book. The story had aspects of the world is Construction, as well lots of personal relationships filled with emotion and passion!

Super fun and inspiring read

If you’re looking for a fast, entertaining, and inspiring read, this is for you. Bridget Steel breaks the glass ceiling in NYC’s intense construction world like a baller, but she’s soft and relatable inside—she’s a single mom up against a Goliath. I love that about this story.

Family upbringing, strength and problem solving.

I enjoyed early in the listen Family teaching on how to overcome adversity. And An appropriate amount of good romance.
