An overachiever, Reagan is used to delivering results. Despite her overwhelming professional success, Reagan never seems to earn her family’s respect. Her younger sister, Geri, is and always will be the Bishop family favorite. When a national network buys Reagan’s show, the pressure for unreasonably quick results and higher ratings mounts. Desperate to make the show work and keep her family at bay, Reagan actually listens when the show’s New Age healer offers an unconventional solution....  Record Nielsen ratings follow. But when Reagan decides to use her newfound power to teach everyone a lesson about sibling rivalry, she’s the one who will be schooled.... Leseprobe Chapter One Jersey Girl “Are you still in love with Lorenzo?” I ask. Dina’s kohl-lined eyes are rimmed with tears as she con- templates her answer. With dozens of sessions under our belts over the past month, we’ve come so far. She’s finally let down her guard and lately her insights have been coming rapid-fire. I’m so proud of her progress and I’m confident Wendy Wins- berg will be thrilled with this episode. This is the exact kind of positive change we want I Need a Push to manifest. And if highlighting positive change wins us a Daytime Emmy? All the better. Dina unfastens the white plastic claw-clip holding back torrents of black hair and rakes inch-long French-manicured tips through her mane. Somewhere, underneath the spandex leggings, the bronzer, and all the bravado, lives a wounded little girl . . . with a serious penchant for leopard print. But my job is not to judge. Although as I’m an expert in human behavior, I’d be par- ticularly adept at doing so. Take Dina, for example. Here she is, a bright, attractive— albeit somewhat flashy—girl with her entire future ahead of her. Maybe she won’t become secretary of state with her lib- eral arts degree from Rutgers, but still. Her life is rife with possibility. (Again, save for cabinet-level work.) But surely there are accounts she can manage, minor projects she can spearhead, cell phones she can market, or memos she can draft to other entry-level managers. I fail to understand why she’s willing to jeopardize her potential for some oily Pauly D wannabe club DJ/bouncer. Push intervened at the insistence of both her parents and the family court judge. If she can’t curb her behavior and ends up saddled with a restraining or- der, she may as well buy some clear heels and prepare for her debut on the main stage. I take in her artfully shredded racer-back tank and visible bra and realize it’s possible she already owns stripper shoes. “I am, but I’m trying so hard not to be. Oh, Dr. Reagan, it’s like, whenever I think about him I feel so frigging . . .” She scans the horizon, where a few brave boaters are navigating the sun-dappled water, taking their first sail of the season.
