Abstract

In the Lowell family of Riverside, there is an ancient, unwritten law.

The daughter sits at the center of the court, or the wealth shall scatter to the wind.

For generations, the women have been the keepers of the keys, the silent architects of the Lowell empire. But when it came to my parents’ generation, it seemed fate had a different sense of humor. My mother gave birth seven times. Seven sons, one after another.

My grandmother, the matriarch, couldn't wait any longer. When the seventh boy was born, she went to a private adoption agency and brought home a baby girl.
