The Surprising Rise of Luke Vanner

Description

Everyone was surprised by the spectacular social rise of Luke Vanner...everybody except Luke, that is, who took it as a given. He liked people and people liked him. Luke was nineteen and gorgeous; people couldn't seem to do enough for him. People like Willis Byers, wealthy industrialist, plus assorted princes, ambassadors, governors, senators, sheiks, socialites and, of course, Luke's "swell friends," Donald and David and Cricket and the Hon. Pam. Luke finds friends In the lobby of the Hotel Carlyle ("Neat"), on an ocean-going yacht ("Nifty"), in his Fifth Avenue Penthouse (A Gem of a Gym"), and at The Asphalt Plant, (the year's "In" disco.) Contrary to popular rumor, Luke did NOT make it with all the above friends...only with the ones who asked him, and then only because he wanted to make everyone as happy as he was. This is life as lived in the stratosphere, among the outrageously wealthy. It's fun. Ask Luke Vanner. ISBN:0915175169
