Grampy: A Novella - Paperback

Eight women tell their stories in this emotional multigenerational character study of Grampy, a wealthy and powerful man at the center of an American family that appears to have it all. Their stories range from innocent first love to pragmatic pairings created for the sole purpose of bolstering his public image. Starting in the 1970's and spanning five decades, damaging behaviors echo down through the generations - shaping wives, children, grandchildren and a very angry daughter-in-law along the way. Grampy's soaring career takes them from the Finger Lakes of upstate New York to Manhattan, Hollywood and even the White House. This timely novel explores the trade-offs people, especially women, make for love of a man, for love of family, and for financial security. Are the trade-offs worth it? Decide for yourself.
