Description: In the beginning, tragedy slams two young people, Justin Cadman and Rowdy Corndodger. Crippled, they follow different paths until fate unites them in a wonderland of opportunity, the U.S. oil boom of the 1960s. Now, out of nowhere, they become big business poster children, but little else it as it seems! After spotlighting the history of Northwest aviation, the Corndodger family becomes introduced to a collection of iron-willed, strong-fisted powermongers. Exxon executives find that oil money can but just about anything, including jet liners, hunting lodges, diamond mines, extravagant parties, and intercoastal pipelines. Enter our heroine, Darcy McKelvey, who sets the family free from Indian Island. While turmoil swelters, the story reaches a rolling boil. A deadly wild card is played involving greed, ego, power, skullduggery, and fame. Operations expand overseas, leading the cast out of Alaska and into Russia, Arabia, and later, the murder capital of the world! Soon, everyone is clamoring to know what happened to the vanished Alaska Governor's wife, the irreplaceable First Lady Doris Lake? The Corndodger families are roundly acclaimed for their powerful husbands and wives. As they thrive, they continue their remarkable story in search of the American dream. When the trailblazing Corndodger bush-pilots take to the skies, this mind-bending doozie, lifelong epic beings!
