Bag om I Left My Homework in the Hamptons

Despite the glittering exterior of this lifestyle, Grossberg explores an underbelly of insecurity, pain, and dysfunction." -Town & Country Magazine Welcome to the inner circle of New York's richest families, where academia is an obsession, wealth does nothing to soothe status anxiety, and parents will try just about anything to gain a competitive edge in the college admissions rat race. Blythe Grossberg brings us a captivating memoir about tutoring for Manhattan's elite that reveals how a life of extreme wealth both helps and harms the children of the One Percent.
