Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The gripping story of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos—one of the biggest corporate frauds in history—a tale of ambition and hubris set amid the bold promises of Silicon Valley, rigorously reported by the prize-winning journalist. With a new Afterword covering her trial and sentencing, bringing the story to a close. “Chilling ... Reads like a thriller ... Carreyrou tells [the Theranos story] virtually to perfection.” —The New York Times Book Review In 2014, Theranos founder and CEO Elizabeth Holmes was widely seen as the next Steve Jobs: a brilliant Stanford dropout whose startup “unicorn” promised to revolutionize the medical industry with its breakthrough device, which performed the whole range of laboratory tests from a single drop of blood. Backed by investors such as Larry Ellison and Tim Draper, Theranos sold shares in a fundraising round that valued the company at more than $9 billion, putting Holmes’s worth at an estimated $4.5 billion. There was just one problem: The technology didn’t work. Erroneous results put patients in danger, leading to misdiagnoses and unnecessary treatments. All the while, Holmes and her partner, Sunny Balwani, worked to silence anyone who voiced misgivings—from journalists to their own employees.

Book Description
The Boreli family is picture perfect with a strong patriarch, beautiful matriarch, and three kids who are reflections of the seeming flawlessness of their parents. Despite this perceived perfection, Joseph and his wife Ellen—along with their children Victoria, Joey, and Lucy—are about to fall apart. Ellen has always been the strong, guiding force in the Boreli household. She has also been the keeper of its hopes, dreams, and most importantly, secrets. When she is diagnosed with cancer, she must face the inevitability of death and reflect on the family she has created based on lies. Sometimes secrets are necessary to protect the innocent. Sometimes lies are necessary to protect those secrets, and sometimes lies become larger than truth. Pure evil lurks behind this camouflage of beauty, and all will come to light as Ellen faces mortality and tries to cleanse the tainted legacy she will leave.
