This book sounds like a compelling and inspiring memoir. It’s unfortunate that she had to experience such hardships first, but at least she became successful as a real estate agent and found a support group among her fellow agents. Thank you for the helpful review.

I'm sure real estate agents, like most other professions dealing with people who are vulnerable when dealing with them, like doctors, attorneys, bartenders, etc., have humorous and astonishing stories to tell! This will be one of my next reads for sure! Thank you for your review!

'Official Review: Pandora's Lockbox by Nico Griffith presents an in-depth and thorough description of the contents of the non-fiction book about the author's life as a real estate agent for readers. The reactions to the book provided by the reviewer were interesting to follow. The point that the author recounts the fascinating tales that the real estate agents experienced is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that the importance of friends represents the underlying theme in the story, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the story offers a taste of the difficulties that the agents faced in the 1980s and 90s!

Nonfiction of the life of a desperate real estate agent of the 1980’s and 90’s, sounds less than riveting at the start. However, the review of this book makes it sound better than at first blush. Perseverance, humor, top-sales and success can make for some pretty good reading and Pandora's Lockbox by Nico Griffith has all that and more as the tales are laid out for real estate agents and the general reading public to enjoy. Thank you for the great review.

"Pandora's Lockbox" by Nico Griffith is a non-fiction story that occurs in 1982. Nico suffered a miscarriage; her husband divorced her and her company was failing so she needed to find a job. She started selling real estate and became very successful in her new career. This book includes many of the stories that she and her fellow real estate agents experienced in the 1980s and 1990s. A well written book that brings readers laughter and tears. Very good review.

This is a heartwarming story that portrays the life of Nicco. The author seems to have gone through a lot in life. Losing a child via miscarriage, husband's impromptu actions of seeking a divorce, and then losing a job. What could be harder than this? I'm happy she came out of this strong and was able to pen her experiences in a book for the world to know and learn. Congrats Nicco for the BOTD.Thanks for the great review.

This seems like a book that is packed with a lot of life experiences and lessons. I know of many women who had miscarriages and it was very hard for them. Imagine having your spouse leave on top of all that. Interesting review

Thank you for your great review. It's a shame there were so many errors. I know what you mean by so many emotions. I did enjoy all of the humor in it, but yet felt sadness at times too.
