This was a really good book. I watched the play with Danny Glover and Ester Rolle. The Play was very interesting as each character has an idea for the money that has been left behind by the father who passed away. The family lives in the South Side of Chicago in what appears to be a brownstone house where the family does not have room to live. The daughter is there, along with the son and his family. The mother, who is played by Ester Rolle, has plans to move her family out and the son, is misguided to invest into a scam that a no good friend has managed to cunningly convince him to invest in. The investment turns out to be nothing more than a way for the man to skip town at the expense of the son played by Danny Glover. Check out the play on You Tube.
