Will Work For Food - Tapa blanda

One chaotic evening, while still in his mid-teens, Glenn Wayne Upland made an irreversible decision. Within months the results of that decision forced Glenn to take responsibility for his own life. Largely self-educated he managed to create a business and life philosophy based on the willingness to do what others would not. He justified actions that were sometimes illegal and often immoral, as necessary to his survival. Glenn worked harder and smarter than any of his contemporaries, to build a business empire. As he did so, an incredibly brilliant crackpot organic farmer and his equally intelligent but damaged sidekick, developed a competing business model that challenged Upland’s success. Meanwhile, a teenage sex goddess, morphed into an MMA fighter with the aid of a self-aggrandizing con-artist narcissist. Her desire to be loved and admired led to a tragic reality check. Abandoned by her manager and forced into a lonely existence, a mysterious force guides her toward those who can help her to effect her own salvation. Unaccountably, these characters are drawn together in America’s heartland and a movement, based on eliminating wealth disparity through a simple anti-establishment concept, erupts overnight and threatens to engulf everyone. These disparate characters must decide whether their ideologies offer redemption or death and destruction. Indianapolis is about to go on a ride like the heartland has never seen before! A dejected sex goddess, an organic farmer, and a talking dog unite the homeless vagrants of the city to force “normal” people to ask “Who are we” Where are we going,” and even “What’s for dinner?”
