Synopsis Family Legacy by : Jack O'Halloran

On the morning of October 25, 1957, a group of men enter the barbershop of the Park Sheraton Hotel on 55th Street and Seventh Avenue and approach the figure in the brown suit sitting in Chair 4. A minute later, Albert Anastasia lies on the floor in a pool of blood. The dramatic assassination of the head of Murder, Incorporated captures the imagination of the press, as pictures of the corpse adorn front pages nationwide. But for Jack Pagano, a seventeen year-old high school football hero with a penchant for Shakespeare's history plays, the episode has special relevance. Because a little over a week before, completely out of the blue, Anastasia came into his life to announce that Jack was his son. It seems that Rip Collins, Jack's quasi-guardian, has been training Jack for more than just the college football league. Shortly after the shooting, Jack is given a letter from his father that, in extraordinarily candid and detailed terms, lays out Anastasia's view of the world, and outlines his plans for his son. Under Rip's tutelage, as well as the watchful eye of his father's close associates Meyer Lansky and Frank Costello, now is the time for Jack to inherit his dark legacy. Based on real events, and peopled with dozens of historical characters, Family Legacy takes us on a fascinating and eye-opening journey that criss-crosses through the interconnected worlds of the Mafia, law enforcement, and the business and political classes of the late fifties and early sixties, to build to a shattering and revelatory climax in Dallas, Texas on the morning of November 22, 1963.

Synopsis Family Legacy and Leadership by : Mark Daniell

Hamilton and Daniell have creatively taught us how to weave together the threads of lineage that create family legacy. They have also clarified the vision of what family leaders look like who are the master weavers of such threads. This all leads toward teaching us how to create and guide our families, and those we serve, to seven and more generations of successful, generative and flourishing lives as individuals and as family. We owe their work a deep debt of gratitude and a bow of appreciation. James (Jay) E. Hughes, Jr. Author, Family: The Compact Among Generations Mark Daniell and Sara Hamilton have written a book that will become a real reference for families wishing to establish a long-term strategy for building an enduring legacy for generations. It contains a wealth of ideas, strategy prescriptions, case histories, and anecdotes that will give the family leader and members of the “tribe” a true guide to building a system that will endure the test of time. I recommend it to families in Asia and beyond. Dr. Victor K. Fung Chairman, Li & Fung Group This is a superb book––unique and full of examples––on the vision of legacy and the role of family leadership. It is also a comprehensive guide to risk management with a special spirit for wise risk-taking. Daniell and Hamilton draw on the unique experience of the Family Office Exchange and its many hundreds of members and scores of studies to define the role of family leadership more fully and inspiringly than ever. This book makes the challenges vivid and the path clear for successful families to preserve both their wealth and their purpose. John L. Ward Principal, The Family Business Consulting Group Family Legacy and Leadership is an innovative, useful blend of theory and practice; and of the hard and soft issues that families face. It offers ideas, insights, and tools that will help families of all types find their path through change. Melissa A. Berman President & CEO, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors

Synopsis The Family Legacy of Henry Clay by : Lindsey Apple

Known as the Great Compromiser, Henry Clay earned his title by addressing sectional tensions over slavery and forestalling civil war in the United States. Today he is still regarded as one of the most important political figures in American history. As Speaker of the House of Representatives and secretary of state, Clay left an indelible mark on American politics at a time when the country’s solidarity was threatened by inner turmoil, and scholars have thoroughly chronicled his political achievements. However, little attention has been paid to his extensive family legacy. In The Family Legacy of Henry Clay: In the Shadow of a Kentucky Patriarch, Lindsey Apple explores the personal history of this famed American and examines the impact of his legacy on future generations of Clays. Apple’s study delves into the family’s struggles with physical and emotional problems such as depression and alcoholism. The book also analyzes the role of financial stress as the family fought to reestablish its fortune in the years after the Civil War. Apple’s extensively researched volume illuminates a little-discussed aspect of Clay’s life and heritage, and highlights the achievements and contributions of one of Kentucky’s most distinguished families.

Synopsis Your Story Matters by : Leslie Leyland Fields

Your Story Matters presents a dynamic and spiritually formative process for understanding and redeeming the past in order to live well in the present and into the future. Leslie Leyland Fields has used and taught this practical and inspiring writing process for decades, helping people from all walks of life to access memory and sift through the truth of their stories. This is not just a book for writers. Each one of us has a story, and understanding God's work in our stories is a vital part of our faith. Through the spiritual practice of writing, we can "remember" his acts among us, "declare his glory among the nations," and pass on to others what we have witnessed of God in this life: the mysterious, the tragic, the miraculous, the ordinary. With a companion video curriculum from RightNow Media, this is a "why not" book as opposed to a "how to" book. Leslie asks each of us an important question: "Why not learn to tell your story, in the context of the grander story of God?"
