Peggy turns into glamorous Destiny Mink in a scene that will have audience howling at the absolute improbability of it all! Balducci marries her and promptly (and conveniently) drops dead. Destiny claws her way to the top of corporate America, wreaking havoc on those who scorned her when she was little Peggy Drab. Madcap complications abound!

Ultimately, of course, Destiny finds her true self, and discovers that Rake has always loved her."--Back cover.
