Bea, did she have control of the family or did she just like to think she did? Anyways, I heard enough that it just wasn't keeping my in...
The description of this book includes the word funny which I didn't find. Really it's just a life story. Siblings are supposed to inherit a bunch of money. One has drug and legal fees that affect them all. Then the story reveals over time how they're all pretty flawed and how everyone is going t...
