Imagine King Lear as a comedy . . . Elegant, amusing, and profoundly nasty tycoon Gloria Garrison, née Goldberg, has a kingdom to bequeath to one of the grandchildren she barely knows. Theyre all twentysomethings who foolishly believe money isnt everything. Just shy of eighty, Gloria doesnt wish to watch the minutes tick by while the three dither over the issues of their generation—love, meaning, identity. She has summoned them all from New York for a weekend at her palatial home in Santa Fe. She has a single question to ask them Which one of you most deserves to inherit my business? Gloria never anticipates the answer will be not interested times three. She created a brilliant, booming beauty business, Glory, Inc., that not only does well, but does good.
