WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
For Richer Or Poorer is the story of a Manhattan socialite couple who have lost their way and drifted apart after their lofty financial goals cause them to lose sight of each other. On the lam from the IRS, they hide out in Amish farm country, posing as the long-lost relatives of a local family—with hilarious and unexpected results.
