As Pete Tells Her, 'Wakeup Call. Everything Has A Price...Something'S Free, It Means No One Will Pay Money For It. Means It Sucks.' Estee Struggles From The Kraft Family Compound In Rural California To An La Penthouse, And, Finally, To A Golf Resort For Retirees In Florida. From Sports Bars And Jehovah'S Witnesses To Discussions Of 'Inner Children' And Classes In Effective Parenting, Estee Carefully Observes The Nature Of American Appetites Particularly The Appetites Of The American Male.Burdened Beyond Bearing By Her Hyperresponsibility For Satisiying The Hunger Of Father, Husband, And Son, Estee Must Free Herself From The Voracity Both Literal And Figurative Of The Omnivorous Males In Her Life.
