a novel

Moving from Mississippi to Paris to New York and back again, a saga of family, ambition, passion, and tragedy that brings to life one unforgettable Southern dynasty, the Forsters, founders of the world's first major soft-drink company, against the backdrop of more than a century of American cultural history. The child of immigrants, Houghton Forster has always wanted more. From his time as a young boy in Mississippi, working twelve-hour days at his father's drugstore, to the moment he first laid eyes on his future wife, Annabelle Teague, a true Southern belle of aristocratic lineage; to his invention of the delicious fizzy drink that would transform him from tiller boy into the founder of an empire, the Panola Cola Company, and entice a youthful, enterprising nation entering a hopeful new age
