\n NATIONAL BESTSELLER \u2022 \u201cMarvelous . . .\u00a0I just had to be there with the Post cereal heiress through every twist and turn.\u201d\u2014Martha Hall Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls<\/p>\n

\u201cNew-money heiress Marjorie Post isn\u2019t content to remain a society bride as she remakes herself into a savvy entrepreneur, a visionary philanthropist, a presidential hostess, and much more.\u201d\u2014Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code<\/p>\n

Mrs. Post, the President and First Lady are here to see you. . . . So begins another average evening for Marjorie Merriweather Post. Presidents have come and gone, but she has hosted them all.\u00a0Growing up in the modest farmlands of Battle Creek,\u00a0Michigan,\u00a0Marjorie was inspired by a few simple\u00a0rules: always think for yourself, never take success for granted, and work hard\u2014even when deemed American royalty, even while covered in imperial diamonds. Marjorie had an insatiable drive to live and love and to give\u00a0more than\u00a0she got. From crawling through Moscow warehouses to rescue the Tsar\u2019s treasures to outrunning the Nazis in London, from serving the homeless of the Great Depression to entertaining Roosevelts, Kennedys, and Hollywood\u2019s biggest stars, Marjorie Merriweather Post lived an epic life few could imagine.
\u00a0
Marjorie\u2019s journey began gluing cereal boxes in her father\u2019s barn as a young girl. No one could have predicted that C. W. Post\u2019s Cereal Company would grow into the General Foods empire and reshape the American way of life, with Marjorie as its heiress and leading lady. Not content to stay in her prescribed roles of high-society wife, mother, and hostess, Marjorie dared to demand more, making history in the process. Before turning thirty she amassed millions, becoming the wealthiest woman in the United States. But it was her life-force, advocacy, passion, and adventurous spirit that led to her stunning legacy.
\u00a0
And yet Marjorie\u2019s story, though full of beauty and grandeur, set in the palatial homes she built such as Mar-a-Lago, was equally marked by challenge and tumult. A wife four times over, Marjorie\u00a0sought her happily-ever-after with the blue-blooded party boy who could not outrun his demons, the charismatic financier whose charm turned to betrayal, the international diplomat with a dark side, and the bon vivant whose shocking secrets would shake Marjorie and all of society. Marjorie did everything on a grand scale, especially when it came to love.<\/p>\n

Bestselling and acclaimed author Allison Pataki has crafted an intimate portrait of a larger-than-life woman, a powerful story of one woman falling in love with her own voice and embracing her own power while shaping history in the process. <\/p>\n
