#389 Little Sister- Jerome Charyn
Another story about Mortimer Silk, the arbitrage king of
Wall st. and his daughter Marl, with her silver spoon, only now enters the
younger sister. She was an aberrant child, and suddenly disappeared when Marla
was five, never to be seen, or talked about for as long as her father was
alive. Whenever she asked about her sister, they would all pretend she was
crazy and say that she never existed.
She did exists, however, and Marla discovered that she was
sent to a mental facility for being violent and unstable. It turns out that
Mortimer hid her away and planned for that arrangement to continue in perpetuity even
beyond the power of Marla’s family council status and executor of his will. She
still finds a way to see her sister, now 37, but is awash in layers of lies.
We already saw the underbelly of the Silk family business,
but this is dark stuff. Secrets, and hidden agendas fuel this story as we try
to suss out the truth. Who exactly was the wolf raised by humans and who was
being protected by whom. Crazy story.
