Reviews:

“At last, here is a book that holds up a mirror to the reader. No one can read these cases without relating to and empathizing with these families and their stories: how they each grappled with the common dilemmas and challenges that must be faced when you own a family business. The most important theme runs like an artery through every case: healthy, adult family relationships and a strong business lead to successful family businesses generation after generation.” Barbara Murray, PhD Past Editor in Chief — Families In Business Magazine

"Fowler's enlightening case studies are likely to resonate with many readers." -- Barbara Spector, Family Business Magazine

“This book has given me the inspiration and the language I need to talk with my father about succession planning, his philosophy on business and family, and his personal expectations of his six children, and particularly, of me.” Vesla Bemis - Bemis Manufacturing Company
