In its heyday, The Golden Hotel was the crown
jewel of the hotter-than-hot Catskills vacation
scene. For more than sixty years, the Goldman and
Weingold families ? best friends and business
partners ? have presided over this glamorous
resort which served as a second home for
well-heeled guests and celebrities. But the Catskills
are not what they used to be ? and neither is the
relationship between the Goldmans and the
Weingolds. As the facilities and management begin
to fall apart, a tempting offer to sell forces the two
families together again to make a heart-wrenching
decision. Can they save their beloved Golden or is
it too late?
Long-buried secrets emerge, new dramas and
financial scandal erupt, and everyone from the
traditional grandparents to the millennial
grandchildren wants a say in the hotel?s future.
Business and pleasure clash in this fast-paced,
hilarious, nostalgia-filled story, where the hotel
owners rediscover the magic of a bygone era of
nonstop fun even as they grapple with what may
be their last resort..
