In every decade, it seems, there comes a stock offering of such magnitude that for years afterward young children hear their fathers sigh, “Kids, if only I’d bought stock in (Coca-Cola … IBM … Xerox … Microsoft) your poor, old dad would be a wealthy man now.” The initial public offering of the Internet search engine Google Inc. was just such an IPO — and Bonnie Brown did have stock, which she’d acquired as an independent contractor and massage therapist at Google. The sale of Google stock on August 19, 2004, is now the stuff of legend; it raised $1.67 billion, making the company worth $23 billion, and a few old-timers like Brown overnight millionaires. No doubt hundreds of thousands of people nationwide watched the news coverage that day. Most of them didn’t own Google stock; they were on the outside looking in as yet another small group of dot-com employees made good. But the ones that did own Google stock were the ones trying to figure out what to do next. Brown had plenty of experience with figuring out what to do next. After a failed marriage left her a single mom, she’d started her own business, a private school; after a great ten-year run, the business failed and she started over again — as a massage therapist. And there the story might have happily ended (she’s a very good masseuse), except for one small detail: she went to work for a small start-up company in Silicon Valley that paid her, in part, with stock. It was Google, of course. And on August 19, 2004, the now-famous IPO gave Brown yet another chance to reinvent her life. Giigle is a warm-hearted, laugh-out-loud memoir about starting over. Touching and funny, it offers an insider’s look at Google culture, thoughts about the benefits of massage on health and spirituality, zany globetrotting, high-flying antics, and encouragement for anyone who needs to begin anew.
