Reclaiming My Pride

Reclaiming My Pride

by Suzanne Iovanna

About the Book

"A red Ferrari is up in flames!" When Suzanne Iovanna's husband is tragically killed, she instantly becomes a single parent to two teenage children and the new owner of Pride Motor Group. Reclaiming My Pride is the inspiring, true story of how a dental-hygienist-turned-stay-at-home-mom draws on the seeds of success planted in her childhood to navigate both parenting and the day-to-day operations of three automotive dealerships on her own. Still grieving, Suzanne completes her National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) certification program. In spite of self-doubt and anxiety, she travels to Korea for training, earning the title of Dealer Principal for Hyundai, Kia, and Chevrolet. And she does so while grappling with the betrayal of those closest to her. More than a memoir of one woman's triumph through adversity, Reclaiming My Pride is a testament to what can happen when you roll up your sleeves, lean forward, and power through dark times.
