Her father Paul, who owned the high-end jewelry company the House of Kutchinsky, set out to create the world's largest jeweled egg--one to rival Fabergé's masterpieces. He succeeded, but at a ruinous price. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Argyle Library Egg was astonishing: two feet tall, made of solid gold, and dripping with pink diamonds. But when Paul was unable to secure a buyer, the House of Kutchinsky collapsed, his marriage fell apart, and he sank into a spiral of drink and drugs. Within ten years he was dead. As for the egg, it was seized by business partners and disappeared without a trace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver time, the mystery of the egg began to eat away at Serena. Why did her father risk everything for the pursuit of this audacious dream?

Desperate for answers, she set out in search of the egg--and an elusive understanding of her late father.
