- Note
- "In his shocking new memoir, the author details the dark history bebind Gifford's Ice Cream and Candy company, one of Washington D.C.'s most iconic family-run businesses. For more than 70 years, Gifford's created sweet memories for generations of local Washingtonians and visitors from every corner of the nation, but few knew of the byzantine betrayals and intrigue rooted in the company from its modest beginnings-influences that would ultimately destroy the legendary business and its troubled founding family. Gifford's story unfolds with remarkable immediacy and candor, revealing the elaborate schemes, crushing bankruptcy, embezzlement, and tragic suicide behind the scenes of the ice cream parlor's happy facade, and the devastation that lay in its wake."--Publisher's website.
