Requests:  0 Summary:  "The dramatic relationship between Ray Kroc, the man who amassed a fortune as chairman of one of America's most controversial and iconic companies--McDonald's--and the passionate woman, his wife, Joan, who then gave that fortune away,"--Baker & Taylor. A quintessentially American tale of corporate intrigue and private passion: a struggling Mad Men-era salesman with a vision for a fast-food franchise that would become one of the world's most enduring brands, and a beautiful woman willing to risk her marriage and her reputation to promote controversial causes that touched her deeply. Ray Kroc was peddling franchises around the country for a fledgling hamburger stand in the 1950s--McDonald's, it was called--when he entered a St. Paul supper club and encountered a beautiful young piano player who would change his life forever. The attraction between Ray and Joan was instantaneous and instantly problematic. Yet even the fact that both were married to other people couldn't derail their roller coaster of a romance. To the outside world, Ray and Joan were happy, enormously rich, and giving. But privately, Joan was growing troubled over Ray's temper and dark secret, something she was reluctant to publicly reveal. Those close to them compared their relationship to that of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. And yet, this volatility paved the way for Joan's transformation into one of the greatest philanthropists of our time. A force in the peace movement, she produced activist films, books, and music and ultimately gave away billions of dollars, including landmark gifts to the Salvation Army and NPR. Together, the two stories form a compelling portrait of the twentieth century: a story of big business, big love, and big giving.--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library Adult Biography B Kroc Na   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 361.74092 Kroc Na   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 361.74092 Kroc Na   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Biography B Kroc Na BIOGRAPHY Claimed Returned 05/26/2023 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Biography B Kroc Na   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Kroc Na   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 361.74092 Kroc Na   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Biography B Kroc Na   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
