About this product
Product Information
A captivating memoir about tutoring for Manhattan's elite, revealing how a life of extreme wealth both helps and harms the children of the one percent. Ben orders daily room service while living in a five-star hotel. Olivia collects luxury brand sneakers worn by celebrities. Dakota jets off to Rome when she needs to avoid drama at school. 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. When Blythe Grossberg first started as a tutor and learning specialist, she had no idea what awaited her inside the high-end apartments of Fifth Avenue. 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 Leagues, whatever the cost to them or their kids. Through stories of the children she tutors that are both funny and shocking, Grossberg shows us the privileged world of America's wealthiest families and the systems in place that help them stay on top.

"Grossberg's fascinating book offers a rare glimpse into the school struggles of the wealthiest kids in New York, reading The Great Gatsby and living through it at the same time." --Jordan Ellenberg, author of How Not to be Wrong "Blythe Grossberg's illuminating memoir, I Left My Homework in the Hamptons, offers a riveting and heartfelt look into her time tutoring the children of some of the wealthiest families in New York City. With clarity and compassion, Grossberg illustrates how, in so many instances, just beneath the surface of these families' gilded social media images are much more complex stories that too often involve dysfunction, loneliness and heartbreak. Like all of the best memoirs, Grossberg's compelling personal story is unique, but includes elements that will resonate with all readers. I highly recommend it!" -Jane Healey, bestselling author of The Beantown Girls, "Grossberg's fascinating book offers a rare glimpse into the school struggles of the wealthiest kids in New York, reading The Great Gatsby and living through it at the same time." --Jordan Ellenberg, author of How Not to be Wrong "Blythe Grossberg's illuminating memoir, I Left My Homework in the Hamptons, offers a riveting and heartfelt look into her time tutoring the children of some of the wealthiest families in New York City.

Like all of the best memoirs, Grossberg's compelling personal story is unique, but includes elements that will resonate with all readers. I highly recommend it!" -Jane Healey, bestselling author of The Beantown Girls "A fascinating book about the world of elite schools and students -- the competition and stressors of the rich, the downside of too much wealth and too little joy -- all told through the stories of the young people who live in this world by an engaging, gifted, and empathic storyteller. Part memoir, part sociological study of the rich, part a treatise on education in America....but 100% compelling. Despite the singularity of the students, the questions this book poses are universal. How much is too much? Why do we require students to master things they are not yet capable of doing? How does the education of the rich exacerbate problems of class, race, and equality in ways that might make broader solutions more difficult? I couldn't put it down." - Ellen Braaten, PhD, author of Bright Kids Who Can't Keep Up, Associate Professor, Harvard Medical School "Grossberg interweaves memoir, psychology, and exposé in this juicy yet sympathetic account.... This nuanced chronicle humanizes an oft-caricatured world." -Publishers Weekly "With compassion and humor, Grossberg details the cutthroat ways the elite try to catapult their children to the top no matter the monetary (or emotional) cost. Despite the glittering exterior of this lifestyle, Grossberg explores an underbelly of insecurity, pain, and dysfunction." -Town & Country Magazine 'A sobering close-up of parental wealth and power." -Kirkus Reviews "Grossberg writes most incisively and movingly when she describes her own struggles as the parent of a child with autism... This insight helps her to understand, but not necessarily to accept, the lengths to which parents will go to secure safety and success for their children." -The East Hampton Star

This item didn’t come in exactly as pictured, but the seller responded immediately and was very gracious in offering me a partial refund even bough I wasn’t expecting one for what I paid for the item. I have bought from this seller before, and they are reputable and stand behind the products they sell. My other transactions with them have been perfect. Great communication. Packaging and price were good. Fairly fast shipping, too. Thanks.
