A man who dug sewers at twenty-five set out to build a thing that could never be lost. By the end, William Ferrant owned the largest mall empire in the Northeast — raised on poisoned ground, financed on beautiful promises, and locked inside a trust so airtight his own children could live like royalty and never own a single brick of it.
OUR FATHER'S EMPIRE is the story of the wanting that builds a kingdom and the wanting that cannot stop building it. Across three generations, a family is loved, provided for, and quietly rendered blind — until the daughter who went to law school to read the documents finds the one crack her father swore no one would ever find.
A novel about money, blood, and the difference between a thing you own and a thing that owns you.
