I Left My Homework in the Hamptons: Teaching the Children of the One Percent

"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

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. Blythe Grossberg brings us a captivating memoir about tutoring for Manhattan's elite that reveals how a life of extreme wealth both helps and harms the children of the One Percent.

"Grossberg interweaves memoir, psychology, and exposé in this juicy yet sympathetic account.... This nuanced chronicle humanizes an oft-caricatured world." --Publishers Weekly

"A sobering close-up of parental wealth and power." --Kirkus Reviews
