The story of a family.

The story of an empire.

The story of a nation.

Moving from Mississippi to Paris to New York and back again, an epic 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.

Forthcoming from HarperCollins on February 5, 2019. Available for preorder at Amazon, Books-A-Million, and Barnes & Noble. Find it at your local independent bookstore via IndieBound.

“The House of Forster is built on bubbles; watching each wealth-addled generation try not to blow the family fortune and/or disgrace its name provides not only excellent Southern Gothic fun but a panoramic tour of the American Century.”
— Jonathan Dee, author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist The Privileges
