Who would have predicted—at a time when the business world was the exclusive domain of men—that Madeline Day would become one of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful figures? Particularly after migrating to Vermont during the back-to-the-land commune movement in the late 1960s.
Together with a raffish group of idealistic college dropouts, she creates Last Chance Farm, a Vermont hippie commune like none other.
Sunny, her only son, a product of the commune’s free-love ethos, comes of age practically feral at Last Chance Farm. When Madeline turns the Farm’s homemade crafts business into a Vermont-themed catalog company and trendy tourist destination, her fellow commune members consider it a capitalist sell-out.
With determination and ingenuity, she engineers a new corporation with worldwide reach while Sunny chooses a more virtuous path. Thus begins the struggle between one of the country’s most powerful economic and political figures, a struggle that transforms mother and son, the nation, and the small state where it all began.
