Named for his father who worked on the Great Lakes ore boats, little Oliver Grin Jr. had a loving early childhood. Even though his father's job kept him away from home months at a time, Oliver's mother doted on her blond blue-eyed son. She even sang songs to him about his "beautiful blue eyes." But when Oliver was five, his brown-eyed brother Ronnie was born. And everything changed.Two more children followed and his once adoring mother now criticized everything Oliver did. His first happy early years now turned into a miserable childhood where Oliver felt rejected because he was different than his siblings. He didn't want to work the ore boats. He wanted to become something greater.And so he did. At age 47 he had a brilliant, loving wife, three successful children, a thriving surgical practice, his own plane and a top-tier racing boat named Collaboration. Then one day someone called his office with a message that turned his life upside down. And that call would finally answer the "why" his mother had pushed him away when his brother Ronnie was born.
