For generations the Burdens were one of the wealthiest families in New York, thanks to the inherited fortune of Cornelius "The Commodore" Vanderbilt. By 1955, the year of Wendy Burden's birth, the Burdens had become a clan of overfunded, quirky and brainy, steadfastly chauvinistic, and ultimately doomed bluebloods on the verge of financial and moral decline---and were rarely seen not holding a drink.

Great story, delivery could use improvement.

What an amazing tale. Family tree begins with the rise of Cornelius Vanderbilt and gets more irreverent and hilarious from there. Wonderfully written, darkly funny memoir. If you like to look at the underbelly of the super-rich, blue-bloods in particular, this one's for you. Sadly the narrator mispronounces soooooooooooo many words it is rather distracting. But I can make no fault with the story itself. So crazy it could only be true.

Listeners will immediately see how deeply she understands the plight of those trying to maintain a happy and comfortable home while at the same time not even knowing if they will be able to make the mortgage to keep that home.

Sarah Ban Breathnach has done it again! Just when I thought no book could beat her Simple Abundance, here is another beautiful book about finding the spiritual in the everyday; and building a rich relationship with, life, money, yourself and the Divine. Brava Sarah!
