This novel is a fictionalized account of a real life event that set my father and his partner against one of the largest and most powerful corporations in the United States. This story tells of my father's fight against corporate greed and ambition to protect his client's legacy and his widow's fortune. This battle also created collateral damage of despair, disappointment, and disillusionment in his own family. Was the fight worth the cost or did he win the battle but lose the most important treasure of all- his family? About the Author: Katherine Johnson grew up in a small town in Minnesota before relocating to Central Florida in the early 1970's. This is her first novel. Currently, she lives in suburban Washington D.C. and where she runs her own consulting firm, Johnson Consulting Group, which specializes in developing and evaluating energy efficiency programs and policies for electric and gas utilities in North America.
