Stray napkin balls sat like cats under the sofas and littered the floor.” This is the Rolling Hills Club, a place where Philadelphia’s richâ€"including Miranda Anderson, the socialite who ties the seven stories in Miranda togetherâ€"come to spend their time and money. From general manager of the club to Miranda’s best frenemy, the other characters in these narratives show what kind of person Miranda isâ€"and what kind of person she might become.
