If not.....She'd probably face a few more nights in jail, have a few more restraining orders slapped against her and lose her heart to the man that ruined her life.Show more Show less

Book excerpt: A PopSugar Best Book of the Year! Readers of Heather Morris’s The Tattooist of Auschwitz and watchers of The Queen’s Gambit won’t want to miss this amazing debut set during World War II. A young Polish resistance worker, imprisoned in Auschwitz as a political prisoner, plays chess in exchange for her life, and in doing so fights to bring the man who destroyed her family to justice. Maria Florkowska is many things: daughter, avid chess player, and, as a member of the Polish underground resistance in Nazi-occupied Warsaw, a young woman brave beyond her years. Captured by the Gestapo, she is imprisoned in Auschwitz, but while her family is sent to their deaths, she is spared. Realizing her ability to play chess, the sadistic camp deputy, Karl Fritzsch, decides to use her as a chess opponent to entertain the camp guards. However, once he tires of exploiting her skills, he has every intention of killing her. Befriended by a Catholic priest, Maria attempts to overcome her grief, vows to avenge the murder of her family, and plays for her life. For four grueling years, her strategy is simple: Live. Fight. Survive. By cleverly provoking Fritzsch’s volatile nature in front of his superiors, Maria intends to orchestrate his downfall. Only then will she have a chance to evade the fate awaiting her and see him punished for his wickedness. As she carries out her plan and the war nears its end, she challenges her former nemesis to one final game, certain to end in life or death, in failure or justice. If Maria can bear to face Fritzsch—and her past—one last time.

Book excerpt: Insurance sales can be a rewarding and lucrative career, but you have to know how to cross sell. Jerry L. Smith, who has been selling insurance since age nineteen, says that vital skill is what separates the top producers from the rest of the pack. Learning to sell multiple insurance products simultaneously can seem challenging, but if you use a strategy similar to playing a game of chess, you’ll win every time. In this guidebook to selling insurance, you’ll learn how to: embrace Scenario selling; begin and end sales presentations; overcome self-imposed limitations; and separate the Sales Myths from the Sales Facts. Just like in chess, in sales, you have opening moves—and the first few moves you make with a prospect lay the foundation for the rest of your presentation, including the all-important close. Whether you’re just starting out in insurance sales or are already a hardened veteran, you’ll generate success for yourself, your company, and your customers by learning the strategies in Checkmate.
