I kept my muddy wedding album because it reminded me of the life I had shared with Terrence before money and family politics took over the story.

The Whitmores believed that money made them untouchable. They were accustomed to controlling the family story and deciding who belonged.

The sealed envelope I handed Howard at the gala wasn’t a threat. It contained formal estate documents and notice that serious financial questions had been referred for independent review.
