Rent Goldberg Variations: A Story of Three Cousins and a Fortune

Synopsis

Now in paperback from New York Times­ bestselling author Susan Isaacs, a "deliciously wicked" (Publishers Weekly) story of three cousins and a fortune.

At seventy-nine, it's time for Gloria Garrison nee Goldberg to plan for the future of Glory, Inc., the Santa Fe-based beauty makeover business that she has grown from zilch into an eleven-million-a-year bonanza. Gloria's never been big on family, but she's forced to contemplate her three grandkids as possible objects of her largesse.

There's twenty-nine-year-old Daisy, a lively but lonely New York story editor for Paramount pictures. Her brother, twenty-seven-year-old Matt, does PR for the New York Mets. He can charm his way around ball players, the press, and a flurry of women. And then there's Daisy and Matt's gutsy cousin Raquel, who at age twenty-five is laboring away as a Legal Aid lawyer. She's Catholic and a Goldberg and proud of it.

When Gloria sends business-class tickets to tempt the three grands to a weekend at her mega-mansion in Santa Fe, they couldn't be more surprised. But the weekend holds an unexpected twist for Gloria, too.

Always sassy, smart and wickedly witty, Susan Isaacs is at her formidable best in a novel that is both hilariously funny and a deeply moving tale of family, faith, and discovery.
