Born into post-war poverty in England, dyslexic and underestimated, the author learns early how to survive by reading people rather than systems. Ambition becomes her language-and her escape. It carries her from scarcity to wealth, from obscurity to rooms filled with power, decadence, and proximity to royalty, Hollywood, and a life most only glimpse from the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom rapid success to Vegas vows, from high-stakes deals to glittering excess, the climb is relentless-and intoxicating. But when the scaffolding collapses, it does so without warning. Money vanishes. Identity fractures. Certainty dissolves. And a near-death experience in Los Angeles strips away the final illusion: that success can save you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuided not by religion but by depth psychology-particularly the ideas of Carl Jung-\u003cem\u003eWaterfall Down\u003c\/em\u003e explores ambition as a survival strategy, success as a mask, and collapse as initiation. It asks what happens when a woman builds a life powerful enough to escape her origins, but not the inner patterns that shaped them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a redemption story. It's an awakening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with lyrical clarity and unflinching honesty, \u003cem\u003eWaterfall Down \u003c\/em\u003eis for readers who have done everything \"right\" and still feel hollow. For those who sense that the life they're chasing won't deliver what it promises. And for anyone brave enough to consider that the real transformation doesn't happen at the top-but in the fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause sometimes, the only way forward...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eis down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Yanez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1918424764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781918424768\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Yanez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.59d","brand":"Shirley Yanez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50665185607935,"sku":"9781918424768","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/waterfall-down-shirley-yanez-9781918424768","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
