Description
The House of Forster is built on bubbles. A panoramic tour of American cultural history unfolds as the story of one unforgettable Southern dynasty-the Forsters, founders of the world's first major soft-drink company. Houghton Forster's journey from Mississippi to Paris and New York is a saga of family, ambition, passion, and tragedy. From his childhood working twelve-hour days at his father's drugstore to his invention of Panola Cola Company, Houghton's life has been marked by the pursuit of more. His children, including eldest son Montgomery, are raised with the expectation they'll become world leaders, but the burden of greatness falls early. As the Forster family navigates their place in American society, their lives become intertwined with the nation's history, revealing a complex tapestry of family, power, and tragedy.
