Confessins of the Sullivan Sisters by Natalie Standiford 313 pages

Hugely enjoyable book with an interesting premise. On Christmas Day, their rich, eccentric grandmother throws down a challenge. She is about to die and because of an action by one of the family members, she is cutting out of her will the entire family UNLESS that family member fesses up in writing to her lawyer by New Year's Day. Of course, the family is used to living with money. So, each of the three daughters write a letter confessing her "big" crime against their grandmother, "Almighty Lou". They all have big lives in a wealthy, casual way: their father is called "Daddy-O" and their mother "Ginger". They have servants, silly charities "Puppy Ponchos" and a named mansion, "Gilded Elms". The confessions reveal how different each sister is. The crimes are matters of the heart, life, death and hate. The reader is engaged trying to figure out which child has distressed the autocratic grandmother. While I can say I don't have much in common with this wealthy family, I did enjoy getting to know them. Even the rich have problems, too.
