Learning the history of our ancestors helps us gain a greater understanding of the challenges they faced, and it often inspires greater love and compassion for their flaws and mistakes. This compassion can easily translate to our relationships with the living, within our families, and outside them. Learn how William Koerber attained his fortune to build his 10,000 square foot estate. Feel the pain of his many setbacks and betrayals. Empathize with his family over his near-death experience of contracting the hoof-and-mouth disease and oral cellulitis. Then just as all seemed right with the world and he was on its top, the bottom fell out. There was much turmoil going on in Detroit. Poor decisions were made. They impacted its residents. This situation cast a horrible dark spell over the Grayhaven properties. How could this terrible travesty of justice have happened? How could the Koerber family survive? Open the book and find out!
