If It's the Last Thing I Do
Fitz-Gerald, David
An engaging story filled with tremendous challenges, and of never giving up even in your twilight years.
It's 1975. Misty Menard unexpectedly inherits her father's business. It never occurred to her that she could wind up as the CEO of a manufacturing company.
After years of working for lawyers, Misty knows a few things about the law. When her favorite young attorney offers to help Misty convert Adirondack Dowel into an employee-owned company, pro bono, Misty jumps at the chance.
The employees are stunned, management becomes hostile, and the Board is concerned. Misfortune quickly follows. Misty thought she had left her addictions in the past, but when a worker's finger is severed in an industrial accident, Misty relapses.
It breaks Misty's heart to think that she has destroyed her father's company. All she wants is to cement her father's legacy. Can a quirky CEO and her loyal band of dedicated employee owners save an heirloom company from foreclosure, repossession, and bankruptcy?
