Summary

Ray and Joan : The Man Who Made the Mcdonald's Fortune and the Woman Who Gave It All Away


In the 1950s, salesman Ray Kroc transformed a successful burger stand into McDonald's, the most popular fast food chain in history. At the same time he married Joan, who ended up giving his fortune away to controversial causes in which she believed. Ray and Joan is a story that forms a compelling portrait of the twentieth century: of big business, big love and big giving.
