Listen up, folks! It's time to dive into the world of Stanley Huang, a man of unpredictable tastes and a knack for all-inclusive vacations and bargain luxury goods. Oh, and did I mention he's just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer? Talk about a twist!
For years, Stanley has boasted about his immense wealth, tantalizing his family with the promise of a huge inheritance. But now, the time has come to uncover the truth about his estate, and let me tell you, his family is feeling the heat. Enter Fred, Stanley's son, a Harvard Business School graduate who was sure he'd be a financial tech god by now. But instead, he's stuck as a measly investor at a mediocre firm. Can you blame the guy for wanting a piece of that inheritance pie?
Then we've got Kate, Stanley's daughter. She's a middle manager at a prestigious Silicon Valley tech company, juggling her demanding boss and the needs of her two adorable kiddos. Oh, and let's not forget about her husband, who's just waiting for his startup to take off. But something's not quite right in Kate's world. Turns out, having it all doesn't necessarily mean you actually do.
As for Stanley's second wife, Mary Zhu, let's just say she's been working overtime to keep her hubby comfortable. Foot rubs, favorite dishes, and ego massages? You name it, she's done it. But lately, her commitment has been wavering. Who can blame her? Taking care of a dying old man is no walk in the park.
And let's not forget Linda Liang, Stanley's first wife. She's been the mastermind behind their financial security for decades, and now she's determined to make sure her kids get what's rightfully theirs. It's been a while since Linda's been on the dating scene, but hey, a seventy-two year old Chinese lady in California deserves love too, right?
As Stanley's days dwindle, the Huang family finds themselves facing unexpected challenges that turn their lives upside down. It's a story that delves into cultural expectations, career ambitions, and the intricate web of relationships that define us. Family Trust takes a sharp look at the ambition and desires of Silicon Valley, while also painting a heartfelt picture of modern American family life.
Oh, and did I mention this audiobook comes with a little bonus? You'll get the chance to listen to an episode of the Book Club Girl Podcast where Kathy Wang herself spills the beans about Family Trust. How cool is that?
So, grab your headphones and get ready to be swept away by this enthralling tale. 14 hours and 6 minutes of pure family drama await you. Get those ears ready, folks, because this is one audiobook you won't want to miss. Ready. Set. Listen!
