Об электронной книге

An affable but ill-educated Georgia farmboy, born just prior to the Civil War, grows disenchanted with his own fathers lackadaisical approach to eking out a farm living, and vows to himself he will one day be a successful entrepreneur and provide a legacy to his family. He eventually decides to find his fortune in the bustling new city of Atlanta, which has become the center of the Souths booming railroad industry; and he builds a successful multimillion-dollar manufacturing enterprise as Atlanta grows. His two sons, born fourteen years apart, are polar opposites, which leads to family friction and an eventual acrimonious split. The elder son, who is made partner, loses two infant sons and remains childless. The younger son, who has contributed immensely to the companys success through forty years, sires four children and, eventually, well over one hundred descendants. Because of the family split, an ambitious but unscrupulous longtime employee successfully manages to steal most of the heirs legacy.

Об авторе

George Warren is a native Georgian whose ancestry there goes back two hundred years. He was educated in local secondary schools and graduated from Georgia State University with a BBA degree. Now retired, he owned his own financial services business for forty years. He has always been interested in history, and since moving to Madison, Georgia, five years ago with his wife, Gale, has been studying the development of the state of Georgia into the economic powerhouse of the southeast. He has occasionally written columns on economics and politics for the local paper, The Morgan County Citizen. A couple of years ago, he decided to try his hand at writing a novella, a fictional prose story that is longer than a short story but shorter than a novel. His idea was that in today’s rushed world, many readers might like a brief escape into fantasy without committing themselves to the long read time of a novel. Stolen Legacy is the culmination of that work.
