Nell Freudenberger is the author of The Limits. In this story a teenaged girl is sent to live with her father instead of her mother. The mother is a marine scientist specializing in corals on an island in Tahiti. The girl flies to New York City where her father is a pediatric surgeon working long hours. Parenting this girl falls on his much younger wife who is also pregnant. The wife is a public school teacher while the daughter goes to a private school. No one seems to be able to influence or parent this girl who goes around town doing anything she wanted to do. The family dynamics made for entertaining reading.
