"The action is set in Morningside Heights, the Manhattan neighborhood surrounding Columbia University where adults' aspirations are firmly focused on the achievements of their children. Talented, troubled, and self-centered, Jane Braithwaite makes her well-meaning upper-middle-class family miserable, enmeshing them in the complicated lives of a homeless family, a poor teenager with no family, and a would-be family foundering on childlessness. When catastrophe finally threatens, all their dilemmas are resolved by the same stunning and unexpected means." "All the while, the Braithwaites involve old and new friends in their struggles - a lovesick clergyman, a lonely doctor and his baby-obsessed wife, a libertarian billionaire, a money-loving philosopher, and a hard-bitten but sexy poverty activist, Their social and political clashes provide entertainment both comic and serious."--BOOK JACKET.
