From the bestselling author of Rich Man, Poor Man, this masterful novel explores the unforeseen consequences of an act of selfless kindness. The Strands are a content, self-reliant Manhattan family—Allen, a schoolteacher, his devoted wife, and their ambitious children. Their lives are forever altered when their daughter helps a victim of a mugging: Russell Hazen, a powerful and wealthy Wall Street lawyer. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Hazen begins to shower the family with extravagant gifts, vacations, and life-altering opportunities. Yet, as the Strands are pulled into Hazen’s world of influence, they discover that every "gift" comes with its own set of burdens, and the very fabric of their family begins to unravel under the weight of his misguided benevolence.
