William Wells

When 82-year-old Henry Wilberforce, the heir to a vast Chicago food company fortune, begins giving away money randomly, his estranged heirs seek to have him declared mentally incompetent in probate court. This compelling novel raises the issues of what is the nature of mental competence, who should be allowed to judge it, and the role of money in family relationships.
