520    A memoir that braids the evolution of one of America's 
       most iconic branding campaigns with the stirring tales of 
       the women who lived behind its facade - told by the 
       inheritor of their stories.In 1899, Allie Rowbottom's 
       great-great-great-uncle bought the patent to Jell-O from 
       its inventor for $450. The sale would turn out to be one 
       of the most profitable business deals in American history,
       and the generations that followed enjoyed immense 
       privilege - but they were also haunted by suicides, cancer,
       alcoholism, and mysterious ailments. More than 100 years 
       after that deal was struck, Allie's mother Mary was 
       diagnosed with the same incurable cancer, a disease that 
       had also claimed her own mother's life. Determined to 
       combat what she had come to consider the "Jell-O curse" 
       and her looming mortality, Mary began obsessively 
       researching her family's past, determined to understand 
       the origins of her illness and the impact on her life of 
       Jell-O and the traditional American values the company 
       championed. Before she died in 2015, Mary began to send 
       Allie boxes of her research and notes, in the hope that 
       her daughter might write what she could not. JELL-O GIRLS 
       is the liberation of that story.A gripping examination of 
       the dark side of an iconic American product and a moving 
       portrait of the women who lived in the shadow of its 
       fractured fortune, JELL-O GIRLS is a family history, a 
       feminist history, and a story of motherhood, love and 
       loss. In crystalline prose Rowbottom considers the roots 
       of trauma not only in her own family, but in the American 
       psyche as well, ultimately weaving a story that is deeply 
       personal, as well as deeply connected to the collective 
       female experience.
