A captivating memoir about tutoring for Manhattan's elite 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.

Children are expected to be as efficient and driven as CEOs, starting their days with 5:00 a.m. squash practice and ending them with late-night tutoring sessions. Meanwhile, their powerful parents will do anything to secure one of the precious few spots at the Ivy League--whatever the cost to them or their kids. "With compassion and humor, Grossberg details the cutthroat ways the elite try to catapult their children to the top." --Town & Country magazine "Grossberg writes...incisively and movingly." --The East Hampton StarEXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
