True Abundance begins ten years later in Ellie and David's luxurious New York City penthouse. Ellie learns that the rich are different, as F. Scott Fitzgerald noted. David is on a field trip in Darfur, Africa, and Ellie returns to her ninety-year-old mother's farmhouse in Haverford, seeking Lydia's advice and guidance. David becomes involved in an international incident that could change his family's life forever. The story unfolds in New York City, Africa, and England, ending in the small town of Haverford where it all began.
