| book description |

William Sanderson is very rich, but you can always be richer. He's up for a huge promotion at investment giant Bedrock Capital, but there's one crucial hurdle he must clear first - assuming he can keep the HR department at bay. Meanwhile, he looks for any string to pull to get his maddeningly indifferent daughter Ginny into Yale. Ellie, his wife, is a Kentucky-raised newcomer to New York who only wants to fit in, and daughter #2, the shy Zoey, is happy just to make a new friend, even in the form of the unusual new girl who calls herself a goblin. Things turn upside down when the girls' exclusive school gets its first trans student and she mysteriously disappears, a frenzied search begins and the entire city frets about her fate. Somehow caught in the crosshairs are the Sandersons, a family desperately trying to navigate all the new cultural rules - and failing miserably. Scott Johnston has spoken to a variety of private clubs (Racquet, Colony, Southampton), institutions (eg, the Courdert Institute) and university groups (Jefferson Council of UVA). He's appeared on a number of podcasts, including 'The Eric Metaxas Show' and 'The Tucker Carlson Podcast', and is an adjunct professor at Yale University in the Economics Department.
