Bright Ideas

How far would you go to put your child on the fast-track to success? For Genevra and Joshua Bradley in Eric Coble’s Bright Ideas, the question is hardly rhetoric. Their three-year-old son, Mac, is next on the waiting list to get into Bright Ideas Early Childhood Development Academy. Everyone knows that once you’re accepted there, your life will unfold with glorious ease. Josh and Genevra have scrambled all their lives, but now they are one fateful dinner party away from the ultimate parental success: the golden pre-school.
