The Best of Families — Ellin Berlin

THE CAMERON GIRLS...
...there were four of them. They grew up in New York's fabled world of wealth and prestige... in the golden, bittersweet era that marked the end of one century and touched the beginning of another.

There was Julia, who married almost too well; Maud, who defied convention and lived to en-joy it; Nell, the youngest, perhaps the most sentimental, certainly the happiest; and Esther, whose love brought her little happiness and a life-long scandal.
