Summary
Bertha Russell has devoted almost her entire life to one man: she and her husband George built a fortune of over a billion dollars and the powerhouse couple now owns one of the most luxurious penthouses on Manhattan’s “Billionaire Row.” Despite their success, Bertha is tired of spending so much of her life fixated on her family and navigating the shallow and petty New York society. She has excess energy that she wants to spend on her own projects.
When her husband makes a dire misstep in their marriage, Bertha impulse-purchases a multi-million dollar estate in a sleepy summer town in Canada, sight unseen, with plans to single-handedly turn it into a luxury inn. She escapes Manhattan, and her marriage, to start a new life.
Unfortunately, money can only buy your way out of so many problems.
