The Nest

Cynthia Sweeney wrote a book about the dysfunctional Plumb family. The name of the book is The Nest which refers to the nest egg the siblings are expected to inherit when the youngest sibling, Melody, turns forty.  All four of the siblings have plans for the nest egg left to them by their father.  Melody's sister Bea, and her brothers Leo and Jack, all await her birthday. The story is set in New York City. The story is entertaining. I took away the lesson that I should spend all my money before I die so that my offspring don't have the problems that the Plumb family had.
