Summary In 1899, Rowbottom's great-great-great-uncle bought the patent to Jell-O from its inventor for $450. It was one of the most profitable business deals in American history, and the family enjoyed privileges-- but was also haunted by suicides, cancer, alcoholism, and mysterious ailments. Her mother, Mary Fussell, was diagnosed with incurable cancer and became determined to combat what she had come to consider the "Jell-O curse." Mary became obsessed with understanding the origins of her illness and the impact on her life of Jell-O and the traditional American values the company championed. -- adapted from jacket
