A Grape Drink in Phoenix

Some Kinda Woman! Stories of Us

The year is 1983. Meet Karen, a successful commodities trader at The Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the mistress of Sam, a high-stakes market maker and billionaire trader in the S & P 500 pit. Meet Dorothy, Sam's wife, and the mother of their twin daughters. These two women are the last guests at a lavish, decadent party at Dorothy and Sam's home. They play a cat-and-mouse game of discovery and betrayal until Dorothy must place her trust in Karen - and rely on her - in a life and death situation. In this podcast we meet Karen, and learn about an incident when she was ten that turned her life upside down. We are introduced to Dorothy in a quiet moment of realization, a subtle acknowledgement that her life has already changed profoundly. Both women experience these moments, after which nothing will ever be 'normal' again.
