Park Avenue

by Renée Ahdieh

Summary

Money can buy almost anything—but it cannot guarantee love, loyalty, or a clean family reputation.

Jia Song, the ambitious daughter of Korean immigrant bodega owners, has spent her life chasing the luxuries she once admired from behind a shop counter. Now a rising star at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, she is closer than ever to the glamorous future she imagined. But her latest assignment plunges her into the spectacularly messy private lives of the Parks, a Korean American family whose billion-dollar beauty empire is threatened by scandal.

The family patriarch wants a divorce from his terminally ill wife, while their three adult children wage war against their father and one another. Jia has just thirty days to investigate the family’s finances, uncover the truth, and protect her clients’ interests. As her investigation takes her from New York to Seoul and beyond, she discovers that the Parks’ wealth conceals secrets far darker than she expected.

Glamorous, sharp-witted, and full of betrayal, Park Avenue explores ambition, family loyalty, and the price of success. Behind the designer handbags and extravagant lifestyles lies a question Jia must confront herself: what if getting everything you’ve ever wanted means losing sight of what truly matters?
