Pineapple Street

 Fiction by Jenny Jackson

This story is about the Stocktons, a super-rich family in New York City. There are Mr. and Mrs. Stockton, Senior, plus two daughters and a son, along with two grandchildren, and they are consumed with the types of problems rich people have: Who is a good-enough suitor for youngest daughter Georgianna? Should older daughter Darley have given up her career to raise her two children? And what about son Cord and his lower- (than us) -class wife Sasha; why can't she just leave everything the way it always has been in the family home?

This is a good story with some really funny bits, but the characters really make the book. I enjoyed it a lot.
