Welcome to Briarcross Interiors—a tapestry of power, secrets, ambition, and resilience.

Stepping into the intricacies of Briarcross feels akin to the honest, relatable struggles highlighted in novels like Chandler Baker’s “Whisper Network” or Dana Spiotta’s “Wayward”. This narrative delves into the challenging dance between personal lives and professional responsibilities.

Meet Sarah Ashby, a leadership coach, and Nia Clarke, the director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Sarah, lured by the enigmatic CEO, struggles to maintain a professional boundary, grappling with an increasing attraction that threatens her commitment to keep her personal life separate from her coaching. Nia, on the other hand, confronts discrimination and harassment as she delves deep into hidden corners of corporate life. Her discoveries and decisions promise to leave an indelible mark on the soul of Briarcross.

Adding layers to this narrative are two more voices from the company’s leadership—women who define power in contrasting shades. One exemplifies a gentle, almost hesitant grip on authority, while the other represents drive and control.

“Briarcross” is a vivid exploration of womanhood and leadership. It examines empathy, authenticity, and the insidious nature of corporate culture in its myriad shades. If books like “Such a Fun Age” by Kiley Reid and “Americanah” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie resonated with you, “Briarcross” promises a narrative that champions doing the right thing in the face of adversity and seeks a path of self-discovery amidst chaos.

More than just a corporate drama, “Briarcross” is a journey of women at diverse crossroads—not only in their careers but the grander tapestry of life.
