These are true stories of men and women who have been challenged by (and who, often enough, have chosen to challenge) the wealth that has become theirs by virtue of inheritance. They have been born to the bright promise of money, but have also learned that such a lot is not without plenty of potential hazards, if not outright dangers. It is, I fear, all too easy for many of us who have never faced this particular kind of situation to be somewhat skeptical of the very real threats it can pose.

- Robert Coles, author of Children of Crisis series from the foreword to The Legacy of Inherited Wealth

Like a Second Mother:
Nannies and Housekeepers in the Lives of Wealthy Children


Barbara Blouin

Storytelling has power to awaken memory and reveal truths. In this collection of oral histories, memoirs and photographs, those who speak their truth remind us of what must not be overlooked: the value of loving caregivers who nurture, as if they were mothers, the children they have been hired to help raise.
