The Spenders: A Tale of the Third Generation
By Harry Leon Wilson
Length13h 11m
About this audiobook
A clash of generations erupts when a rugged, self-made pioneer watches his wealthy descendants squander their inheritance in high-society New York. Disgusted by their soft, aristocratic pretensions, the tough old patriarch leaves his Western ranch to teach his pampered grandson a harsh lesson in reality. What follows is a dynamic battle of wills between the grit that built a fortune and the decadence threatening to destroy it. This sharp, engaging social commentary contrasts the raw energy of the frontier with the gilded cage of eastern aristocracy. Witness a fierce family reckoning where money talks, but true character roars.
