Seen through the lens of four families who've been a part of one another's lives since their kids were born over a decade ago, the story reveals not only the lengths that some adults are willing to go to get ahead, but the effect on the group's children, sibling relationships, marriages, and careers, as simmering resentments come to a boil and long-buried, explosive secrets surface and detonate. It's a humorous, keenly observed, timely take on ambitious parents, willful kids, and the pursuit of prestige, no matter the cost"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Gifted children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ambition $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Competition (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Private schools $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marital conflict $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Colorado $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 945 $a lpt 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061737.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20190817014221.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=01B1BCEAB5B411E9B808B33C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
