> And they were all rich. Rich in looks, rich in opportunity, rich in already wasted opportunities, rich in network, and rich in funds. And rich in frustrations, many of which they could not even name.

As I said in the episode, my novel is inspired by the true crime case of the missing person Maura Murray.
