Book excerpt: Ben Apt has given up on the relationship his mother, Betsy, has never allowed them to have. School, career, his choice in boyfriends—she’s always found an excuse to pull away. Pushed to reconcile by a deathbed request from his beloved grandmother, Ben accepts an invitation to visit his parents for their fortieth anniversary party. Destination: their new retirement home in the tony Cypress Club community of Palm Beach. Ben’s efforts to reconnect are quickly tested when Betsy greets him. She’s gone platinum. Her face looks. . . new. And instead of hashing things out with her son, she spends the weekend going to deceptive lengths to impress the other nouveau-riche Boomers in residence—whose greatest concern is where to enjoy a mimosa-soaked brunch after their first eighteen holes. As Ben struggles to negotiate the minefield of the club’s peculiar culture, greater secrets are revealed, until he’s no longer sure whether reconciling with his mother will provide the peace he’d been seeking, or only serve to destroy the Apt family completely. The Cypress Club is by turns funny, irreverent, and heartbreaking. An often-satirical tale that explores the painful prospect of severing ties with a parent and invites readers to rethink what it means to live the American dream.
