In Allie Rowbottom's Jell-O Girls, the haunting yet triumphant story of one family and their successful business is brought to the forefront. When Rowbottom's great-great-great-uncle bought the patent to Jell-O in the late 1890s, he wouldn't have ever guessed that it would bring along hardship for his family. Over 100 years later, the women in the Rowbottom family are struggling with a cancer that has taken the life of both Allie's mother and her grandmother. Continuing her mother's research and writing down her journey to share with the world, this new memoir dives into the lives of the women behind the Jell-O name and the curse that seemingly haunts them all.
