katharine clark graya cattleman’s melodrama
by Katharine Clark Gray
Herschell Hammond is a dues-payin’ cattleman in a world beset by Mad Cow Disease. His underlings no longer respect him; his customers fear his product; the Dutch won’t take his calls. His only solace is his stepdaughter Candace, who’d just as soon lie to him as breathe. Will he adapt or perish? Only time– and a new menu– will tell. King Lear for the modern agribusiness age, The Beef is a red-blooded melodrama about family secrets, cutthroat competition and the price of doing battle with your demons.
