Shake the Cage

Maggie Larson has $7 in a jar, a credit score of 712, and a back that’s been shaped by twenty-two thousand hours in an office chair. She is one paycheck from disaster.

She knows the system is rigged. What she doesn’t know is that the cage has no lock—just her own exhaustion.

When her car breaks down and her manager announces new productivity software that tracks her every idle second, something snaps. Not loudly. She just stops. Stops jiggling the mouse. Stops scrolling. Stops dancing.

Shake the Cage is the story of a woman who finally turns around—and finds the door was behind her and unlocked all along.
