Aprašymas

The Adored is a story rich in character, as seven wealthy "brothers" come of age. But a problem lingers: one of them committed a murder as a teenager and an innocent young black man is serving time for it. Along the way these seven men from the 1% have starkly different lives but remain connected by an umbilical cord stretching back to the privileged life that began in preschool.The salvation for the men in this story is their women: Valerie McGuire, the brilliant Wall Street analyst, Santa Alba, the beauty queen of Coamo, Kathy Jackson, the police officer from Stamford, and the lustrous Silvana DeLuna, the washer woman of San Blas. Whether it is aiding a soul locked behind the 30 foot walls of Auburn Prison or filling the emptiness of a Navy Seal in Afghanistan these women inspire us by their strength, intelligence and loyalty. They help men overcome their devotion to making money the old fashioned way: by trading on insider information, and they expose the insidious corruption in the financial markets.
