15 Winning Ways to Better Living

By Wendy-Kaye Russell

At first glance, American Telco is an old-fashioned business success story. Ron W. Henriksen started long-distance carrier American Telco in 1983 with seed money from his parents. He spent the next 15 years growing the company and sold it in 1998 for $130 million at 27 times earnings. Those years had taken a toll, however, and Henriksen was ready to devote time solely to his wife, Sheri, and two boys, James and Matt. Then, a short 43 days after the sale-the pinnacle of his professional life-Ron's five-year-old son, James, became ill and spent the next 113 days in the hospital fighting for his life.

This book tells both stories-a business success and a father's desperate battle to keep his son alive-in alternating chapters, the two storylines coming together in a new form of memoir that redefines the meaning of success.
