She works at a not-for-profit, and she thinks that this means that she's really doing good in the world. Georgiana is spoiled but doesn't realize she's spoiled. And Georgiana is just this delightful brat. And then second, we have Georgiana, who is the baby of the Stockton family. Darley is the oldest sister, and Darley is a mother of two young children, and she's given up her career in finance to take care of her kids and is grappling with what that means for her. So the novel is the story of three women in the Stockton family. Tell us about the three main characters, because the novel follows the lives of what I'll refer to as the three Stocktons. And that was such a wonderful introduction. "Pineapple Street" is the debut novel from Jenny Jackson, vice president and executive editor at Alfred A. "Pineapple Street" - the novel, not the actual street in Brooklyn Heights - is a comedy of manners set among people who live in storied limestone homes, have prenups, set out tablescapes, summer between the Clintons and the Obamas, do good, sometimes conspicuously so, send their children to fancy schools, have their family names on libraries, try to keep up and keep current and be something to someone.
