Velda Bryson-Disruptor

Velda Bryson, Disruptor is the story of twenty-seven year old Velda, a resilient, Oxford

educated woman, who seeks power, order, and ultimately self-actualization in her life. Velda exposes

and fights the tactics of her affluent and ruthless father as well as the powerful banking institution of US Patriot Bank in

the courtroom, as she faces burying her older half-sister, and manages her relationship with Philip, who has sexual

identity and health issues.

Ultimately Velda is determined to reclaim her rightful place within the empire of her Minneapolis-based

Bryson family, as the story culminates in an entangled legal battle over trust governance, which involves one of the

largest banks in the world, US Patriot Bank.

Velda is the daughter of George Bryson, II, a cruel father, who left his daughters in France when Velda

was three years old. He is motivated by power and money, and fends off his four daughters from

rebalancing the power structure within his branch of the family. From the age of eighteen, Velda has

hired legal counsel, taught herself the intricacies of the law and business, all the while attempting to

resolve her own feelings of pain, powerlessness, and inadequacy due to the abuse she suffered as a child

at the hands of her father, which inevitably inform her choices in her current relationships.

This story takes the reader to Cannes, Oxford, London, Minneapolis, Montana, and Norway, as it

presents flashbacks from Velda’s younger years and experiences, that make up her journey towards

fulfilling her destiny.
