Mostly Nonfiction Book Club

Marjorie Merriweather Post's remarkable life unfolds in "The Magnificent Lives of Marjorie Post." Hailing from Battle Creek, Michigan, she embodied self-reliance, gratitude for success, and relentless work ethic. As an American aristocrat, she hosted presidents and transcended societal norms. From rescuing the Tsar's treasures in Moscow to defying Nazis in London, Marjorie's adventures knew no bounds. From cereal box assembly to leading General Foods, she became America's wealthiest woman before 30. Her story, filled with opulence and adversity, is a testament to her indomitable spirit. Allison Pataki masterfully paints this epic tale of empowerment and legacy. (400 pages)
