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 Ambition $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Private schools $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Gifted children $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Marital conflict $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Competition (Psychology) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 7 945 $a lpt 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909054533.0 952 $l VRPB384 $d 20200417112141.0 952 $l W7PA017 $d 20200128040035.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20191119012355.0 952 $l NJPD993 $d 20191007115949.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190802010530.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190710010132.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FE36B88EA2D711E9906D7C2397128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
