PRIDE POWER PASSION

Book excerpt: The prominent and wealthy socialite, Gerri Fitzgerald, has reached the very pinnacle in the social world of New York City in 1909. Using each of her husbands as steppingstones, she secured what she had always considered her destiny—power and wealth. As she prepares for her fourth marriage, her eldest daughter gets another chance to rekindle an old relationship, her youngest son returns from the dead, her youngest daughter comes to the realization that she controls her own future, and her eldest son finally ascertains his own mettle. Being a very obsessive and psychotic individual, Gerri believes that the wealthy are impervious to the law, but because of her Pride, Power and Passion she does not believe that her own children could ever defy her.
